Hi there,

In Origin 7.5 and earlier I used the following LabTalk Code for making a selection from a Drop-Down list:

%L=(iv el lt pc qe re pl);
getnumber (Change Datatype) (EXN:L) (Change Datatype Suffix);
%O=%[%L,#EXN];
After closing the pop-up window, %O contained the chosen value.

Now with Origin8 it seems not to work anymore.
Because I do not get a drop down list but a single line "iv el lt pc qe re pl"

What has changed? Any ideas? What do I have to change?
Thanks for any hints,
Tilman.

Origin Ver. and Service Release (V8 SR6):
Operating System: Vista

...OK, found it...

in Origin 7.5 and earlier

%L = (iv el lt pc qe re pl);

was working. Apparently in Origin 8 you have to type:

%L = "iv el lt pc qe re pl";

Minor detail...
