Adding pop-up menu and list controls
Pop-up menu controls let end users choose one item from a menu. List controls let end users
choose one or more items from a menu. To add a drop-down menu or list control to a
form:
1
Use the Pop-up Menu tool or the List Box tool to draw the list control in the form
box.
• Choose Pop-up Menu for a pop-up menu.
• Choose List for a scrollable list.
• To specify a menu that you've already created, choose that menu's name from the Menu
drop-down menu.
• To create a menu, click New.
2
(List controls only) To indicate that one or more of the items in the control can be selected,
check Allow Multiple Selections.
3
To indicate that at least one of the items in the control must be selected before the form
can be submitted, check Required.
4
Click OK.
Adding a group of radio button controls
A group of radio button controls lets an end user choose one value from a selection of values.
When an end user clicks one radio button, it deselects all the other radio buttons in the
group. To add a group of radio button controls to a form:
1
Use the Radio Button tool to draw several radio button controls in the form box.
2
Select one of the radio button controls and then choose Item > Modify and click the Form
tab.
3
Choose Radio Button from the Type drop-down menu, if necessary.
4
Radio button controls with the same name are considered to be in the same group. Decide
on a name for the radio button group and enter that name in the Group field.
5
To specify a value for the selected radio button, enter a value in the Value field.
6
Repeat steps 2–5 until you have created and configured all the radio button controls in
the group.
7
To make one of the radio button controls selected by default, select that radio button,
choose Item > Modify, click the Form tab, and then check Use as Default.
8
To indicate that one of the radio buttons in the group must be selected before the form
can be submitted, select any of the radio button controls and check Required. Checking
Required for one radio button control checks the box for all of the radio button controls
in the group.
