List menu properties

To display list menu properties in the Property inspector, select a list menu in a form. See also Forms overview.

List name assigns a name to the control. This field is required and the name must be unique.

Type indicates whether the control is a pop-up menu or a scrolling list. For a list, you can set the height of the control (how many items are showing at once) and indicate whether the user can select multiple items from the list.

List Values opens the Initial List Values dialog box so that you can add items to the list. Each item in the list has a label (the text that appears in the list) and a value (what is sent to the server-side application if the item is selected). If no value is specified, the label is sent to the server-side application instead.

Use the Plus and Minus buttons to add and remove items in the list. Items appear in the order in which they appear in the Initial List Values dialog box. The first item on the list is the selected item when the page is loaded in a browser. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to rearrange items in the list.
