Additional Features > The Code Definition Window
The Field Type selects how the code is presented in the Items window. It has to be either: EditBox (default), ComboBox, ListBox or ReadOnly.
EditBox (default) |
The code is presented as an editable textbox. E.g. comment field. |
ComboBox |
Combination of EditBox and ListBox. The user can type a value or select a value from the drop-down list. |
ListBox |
Input to be selected from a list of values that is presented as a drop-down list. |
ReadOnly |
Typically used when the code calculates a value not to be edited. |
See Add a Code value to learn how to create the drop-down list for the ListBox and ComboBox.
Hint and Tricks:
For adding items written into the ComboBox to the drop-down list. Change the Field Type to EditBox and then back to ComboBax again.
A message as shown in the picture below will then pop-up. Answer yes if you would like to add all codes defined for items.
