Combo Box/List Box

PIF dialog editor toolbox icon for Combo box

This control works as a combo box or a list box depending on whether you select the Input Enabled property. If Input Enabled is selected, the control works as a combo box; otherwise, it works as a list box.

Combo Box

A combo box presents a list of possible values and allows selecting one of them. Alternatively, the user can enter another value. A shell script can be specified that validates the input, and another script that changes attributes or contents of fields in the installation dialog immediately. In VT100 dialogs, navigation is possible with the arrow keys or + and –. If the + or – key is pressed the first time, the list of possible values pops up. Further pressing + or – navigates up and down the list. Carriage Return confirms the selected value and closes the list.

If the + or - key is pressed the first time, the list of possible values pops up. Further pressing + or - navigates up and down the list.
