Data Editor

A list box displays a list of items from which the user can select. A scroll bar is automatically added to the list box if more items exist in the list than can be displayed. In a combo box, the features of a text box and a list box are combined — the user has the choice of typing in the text box portion, or selecting an item from the list portion of the control.

From the Data Editor dialog box, you can create the selections for list boxes and combo boxes.

Display Value list: Contains a list of the text entries that appear as selectable items in either a ComboBox or List form control.

Selection Value list: The data value actually sent to the host when the corresponding Display Value is selected.


Modify button: Displays the Data Editor for the selected Display Value/Selection Value combination.

Remove button: Deletes the selected Display Value/Selection Value combination.

Add Blank Entry button: Adds a blank line to your displayed combo box or list control.
