Combo Box
The Data Exchange page for a combo box control specifies the text-based field to associate with the control. The following table describes the properties for a combo box control.
Property
Description
Table type
The table in which the data field associated with the control resides. The default for a new control is the table with which the form is associated. If associating a control with a field in a foreign table is permitted, the tables from which fields can be selected appear in the list.
Data field
The data field with which the combo box is associated. Choices are all of the text-based fields in the selected table type. If this table is not the one associated with the form but rather is a foreign table, the field is inserted as display-only. In this case, all selections made for the remaining properties on the Data Exchange page are ignored.
Choice list
The list attached to the field. This field is display-only. Lists are attached to text and memo fields in the Project’s Data Definition file. For more information, see Data Definition Files. If the list cannot be changed because the field is used for some special purpose, * Special List * is shown instead of the name of the attached list. For example, in the FRACAS Incidents table, you cannot change the list attached to Workflow State.
