Adding List Box Controls

A list box is a list of values from which the end user can choose. The control can return
either the actual string the end user selected, or its position in the list as a letter. If it
returns letters, it returns A if the first item is selected, B if the second item is selected,
and so on.
1. Open the dialog box in the Custom Dialog Editor.

The List Box Control Settings dialog box appears.

between selections so there is only one item per line.
