Hi,

I have spotted some (in principle) similar ctrls: PopUpTable and DropGrid; however information concerning these two ctrls are not available in the manual (if I am wrong, please correct me). So I have some queries:

1.- If the target is to create a drop down list, in which the user is capable to perform some actions (such as to select/deselect, introduce a name, select a color (from a ColorPucher) and so on), which control suit best?

2.- If an additional target is to provide the same selection features to the user but through a standard dialog, which control suit best, having in mind that it will be “used” again in the dialog?

3.- Please, advantages and disadvantages of mentioned controls.

Thank you,

Javier

Hi Javier,

It's not that we don't want to answer but we are busy too and some things are easier for you to find than for us to answer.

IMO the order of finding information is that:
1. Check the documentation and/or older forum posts
2. Check the code
3. If still don't understand, post in forum

Answers:
1. Both controls are good for that, depend on your context one may fit better than other.
2. Same as 1.
3. PopUpTable inherit from ArrayCtrl so what you can do with ArrayCtrl you can do with it too. DropGrid inherit from GridCtrl.
IMO GridCtrl provide a higher-level interface when ArrayCtrl is more low-level.

The best answer only you may write Smile after testing them in practice.

Andrei,

Many thanks. I appreciate very much any help/hint provided.

Allow me a question: the PopUptable ctrl does not show drop-down feature, do you know why?

Best wishes,

Javier
