Item other than a button in a region position

Question

Hi All,
In a region template, there are substitution strings such as #EDIT#, #CLOSE#, #CREATE#,..etc that allow you to create buttons in these positions.
Rather than a button, I would like to create a combobox in one of these positions. Is this possible?
Thankyou,
Shane

Hi again. I managed to work this out.
For those interested, you can accomplish this by creating a shortcut and placing the name of the shortcut in the region template.
For example in the region template place <td>"TEST_SHORTCUT"</td> wherever you want it.
And then create a shortcut named "TEST_SHORTCUT" of type PL/SQL. You can then selectively display the "select list" and its contents depending on a specific page...eg
BEGIN
if :APP_PAGE_ID = 1 then
return HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(9,'Y','Yes;Y,No;N');
ELSIF :APP_PAGE_ID = 2 then
return HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(9,'M','Male;M,Female;F');
end if;
END;
