HOW TO: use a combobox like a pull down menu.

Comboxes are very handy for quickly filling of values in fields.
But you can also use the combobox as an pseudo pull down menu.
This is not a new feature, so many developers will already know that this is possible in Servoy. For newbies however, it might be interesting having a look at the attached files to see how this is/can be done.

Attached one zipfile with two files: combo.servoy and combo.gdb

  1. copy ‘combo.gdb’ in: c:\program files\servoy\database
  2. connect Servoy to database: Edit->Preferences->DBServers
    ->Auto Setup Server ->Firebird: URL: = combo.gdb
    Servername: combo
  3. import solution in Repository: File->Repository->import: combo.servoy
  4. open solution: ‘combo’

Enjoy!
