Creating Drop Down or Option selection for prompt user input.

Hello,
I wanted to know how can I create a drop down menu that has predefined values? I have the prompt user input vi. When it says enter voltage..i want the user should be able to select from a drop down menu values..also is it possible to have a predefined set of values from which a user can select...say 5 values are displayed and user selects one of them each time the vi is run...can this be realized..kindly help.
Thanks.
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
you can use a text ring  or a menu ring control located on the Ring and Enum on the control pallete.
for a pre defined value you can edit that control to have what ever values you want from the user to input.
You can change the menu option by right clicking on the ring control and choosing Edit items from the list and use the values you want.

  • Creating Drop Down Lists in J2ME

    Hello all,
    I'm not an experienced programmer, and I fear that the rumours of posting a crie for help only to be set upon by hundreds of blood thirsty 'newbe' hunters may be true, but here goes none the less.
    Would love to know if any kind soul has hints on how to create drop down lists in J2ME, for selecting a option which would be able to relate to a database (Table).
    At the moment I'm using straight forward TextField entries, which is hardly convenient! :)
    Any help/comments/sweets appreciated!

    Hi Cameron,
    Only MIDP 2.0 support drop down list. So if you currently coding in the MIDP 2.0 environment, here are the codings.
    String arr = new String[]{"Happy","Sad"};
    ChoiceGroup ch = new ChoiceGroup("Select Choice:",ChoiceGroup.POPUP,arr,null);
    append(ch);
    Hope this codes is helpful to you.

  • How to create drop down option in service manager 2012 incident portal

    Hii,,
    Please assist how to create drop down option in service manager 2012 SP1 default incident portal. We would like to provide the drop down option in "Please enter the title for the Issue" to our users.
    Regards, Syed Fahad Ali

    As was already referenced, you could use a Simple List for the prompt, however if you are referring to the default General Incident that is available out-of-the-box, you might be limited in what you can modify. 
    I did some work for a client, that wanted to have a list and other options for the General Incident through the Portal. So, I ended up having to create a custom General Incident instead of using the default one, which will then allow you to add any type
    of prompts, and configure them as you want (i.e. with a simple list).

    Looking to create editable PDF forms with drop downs and text boxes for use on a Mac computer and iPad. Which product do I need to purchase? Do not need anything fancy

    Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

  • How to create drop down menu

    Hi
    Can we create drop down menus in HTML DB as we do in
    Visual Basic.
    Thanks.

    In HTML DB v2.0 you can create drop down menus. I cannot say if they are the same as Visual Basic because I am not familiar with VB..
    Here is an example pull-down menu:
         A   B   C                <--- Top level
         A1  B1                   <--- Second level
         A2                       <--- Third levelInitially the user sees a horizontal menu with "A", "B', and "C". When the user clicks on "A" a menu containing "A1" and "A2" is displayed under "A".
    Here is what you do to create this:
    1.) Edit a page.
    2.) Click the "Create" (plus sign) button in the "Lists" region under "Shared Components".
    3.) Enter a List name.
    4.) Make the "List Template" be "DHTML Menu with Sublist".
    5.) Click the "Create List Entry >" button on the right. You are now creating your Top Level menu.
    6.) Enter "A" into the "List Entry Label".
    7.) Set "Target Type" to "- No Target -". This could be an URL or another page in the application.
    8.) Click the "Create and Create Another" button. You are now create the lower level menus.
    9.) Select "A" for the "Parent List Entry".
    10.) Enter "A1" into the "List Entry Label".
    11.) Set "Target Type" to "- No Target -".
    12.) Repeat steps 8, through 11 for "A2".
    13.) Click the "Create and Create Another" button.
    14.) Repeat steps 6 through 12 for "B" and "B1".
    15.) Click the "Create and Create Another" button.
    16.) Repeat steps 6 and 7 for "C".
    17.) Click the "Create" button.
    18.) Click the "Add this list to the current page" link.
    19.) Specify the region information for the menu and click "Next" button.
    20.) Click the "Create List Region" button.

  • Recently changed my password for mail, can still read my mail, but the drop down keeps appearing, asking for my password and saying it's incorrect. Totally confused. 

    I Recently changed the password for mail, on iMac. I can still read my mail, but the drop down keeps appearing, asking for my password, then telling me it's incorrect. Totally confused. 

    If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
    Step 1
    When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
    Step 2
    Check that the keychain is working.
    Step 3
    Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

  • Creating Drop Down nav menu in Captivate 5.5

    We are making a users guide for our field service representatives. In our index, we have quite a few categories with sub-categories. If we were to list them all out, it would take up 5 or so slides, just of navigation links to OTHER slides, where the useful content would be.
    What I would like to do, is to collapse the sub-categories into drop down menus that would appear when mouse over occurs, or even if the appropriate section was clicked on. I need these sub categories to appear on the same page and to easily disappear so that my techs can continue their search without major disruption, which is why I want to do drop down menus. I could have them click on the category, and have it take them to a slide with the sub-categories, but then they would have to navigate back to the index...it's too time consuming, considering their daily responsibilities.
    What is the best way to create drop down navigation menus that can go 2-4 levels deep?
    Cheers!
    Keith

    I do utilize the TOC normally, but there was a specific request made to try
    and keep them "in" the document. If there is now way to do actual drop down
    menus, then I can take that back to the department head and try and sell
    them on TOC, but if there is a way to give them what they are asking for,
    then it would be helpful to know.
    These files will be distributed to technicians on their laptops, most
    likely in PDF format.
    So, other than the TOC, is there really no way of making a drop down menu?
    What if you wanted to do a software simulator? TOC wouldn't really be valid
    for that. If in the software, there are drop down menu choices, then
    wouldn't it be necessary to replicate that within the project?

    Take a look at "Creating Animated Buttons". The Tweening of

    the right and changing the color perhaps could be replaced or
    appended
    by your drop-down-needs? The Drop-Down is another Animated
