Hi all,
Im trying to figure out how I can simply display a drop down list with a given list. Possible? I cant figure out how.
Really Id love something like a html select input dropdown but realise I may not be so lucky with this one.
I know there was a dialog director osaxen in os 9 - anything in 10?
thanks

I think, ‘choose from list’ will be the right thing for you:
set myList to {“AppleScript”, “is”, “absolutely”, “cool”}
choose from list myList with prompt “Make your choice:”
If ‘choose from list’ isn’t sufficient you can also use either Extra Suites ( http://www.kanzu.com/main.html ) or 24U’s Appearance OSAX ( http://www.24usoftware.com/AppearanceOSAX ). Both of them let you build complex UI windows and dialogs, including pop up menus…

thanks folks!
all fantastic - i went for the standard “choose from list” in the end but it was nice finding some simple ways to get the flashy menus and windows. top stuff.
