Hello.

I want to have a combo box in which each element in the box refers to a separate script that does something with the graph. This will enable me to save space on the graph by avoiding having 20 different buttons all over the place.

The problem is, when in Edit Button Mode i make the combo box and I cannot reach its properties, only its Label Control.

there is nothing in Origin Help about the Combo box, which makes me slightly nift.

Does anyone know how to make and manipulate these combo boxes or has Microcal just put them there for show?

Hi Daniel,

COMBOX does not have property control. It is controlled exclusively through LabTalk script. Also, it cannot be placed on a graph. How to create a COMBOX and how to program it etc. are documented in the OriginPro manual.

Hi Daniel,

If you want a single control that can run multiple scripts I suggest you use a simple text button that runs a getnumber dialog with a drop-down list...

%Z=(Script1) (Script2) (Script3);
ii=1;
getn ( ) ii:Z (Select a script);
run.section(,%[%L,#ii]);

[Script1]
-- Script1 commands --

[Script2]
-- Script2 commands --

[Script3]
-- Script3 commands --
