SIMPLE_DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX |
A drop down list box is a control that allows the user to select an entry from a collection of values. The collection of values tends to be hidden until the user has them displayed. The collection of values is statically available in the XSL. |
|
DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX_WITH_CONDITIONAL_FORMATTING |
Similar to SIMPLE_DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX, but allows conditional formatting (text formatting and disabling). |
|
DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX_WTIH_VALUES_FROM_DATA_SOURCE |
Similar to SIMPLE_DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX with the exception that the values for the collection are drawn from another location within the data source of the form. |
|
DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX_WITH_VALUES_FROM_DATA_SOURCE_AND_CONDITIONAL_FORMATTING |
Similar to DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX_WITH_VALUES_FROM_EXTERNAL_DATA_SOURCE and DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX_WTIH_VALUES_FROM_DATA_SOURCE_AND_CONDITIONAL_FORMATTING. |
|
DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX_WITH_VALUES_FROM_DATA_SOURCE_AND_UNIQUE_DISPLAY_NAMES |
Similar to DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX_WITH_VALUES_FROM_DATA_SOURCE with the difference that each value from the collection of values is unique. |
|
DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX_WITH_VALUES_FROM_DATA_SOURCE_AND_UNIQUE_DISPLAY_NAMES_AND_CONDITIONAL_FORMATTING |
Similar to DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX_WITH_VALUES_FROM_DATA_SOURCE_AND_UNIQUE_DISPLAY_NAMES and DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX_WITH_CONDITIONAL_FORMATTING. |
