Why isn't there a dropbox list widget?

[alanoatwork]

I need a dropbox list widget and can't seem to find one in the toolkit.

1. Are there 3rd party vendors that offer this or other UI elements?

2. Can the existing widgets be assembled to implement a dropdown list widget?  If so, can you please explain the steps to a novice?

Thanks,

Alan

Hello @alanoatwork,

There is a widget called Slide Menu that can implement the functionality you are looking for. You can refer to the example project available in the TouchGFX designer to learn about it usage.

I hope this helps you!

I've seen these examples, but they do not address the problem I have, which is limited screen real estate to implement a slide menu. I would like the functionality of a dropbox list because it takes up much less space. Can ST help me find a solution?

I can escalate this thread, so you will be contacted for individual support

This would be great!

Did you ever find a solution? I too was wondering why there isn't a dropdown menu - they're so common and so powerful, I'd like to use one for my product.

Hello @jchernus-fikst ,

While we wait for @alanoatwork 's answer, I have made a simple drop down menu workaround example using a scrollList.
Please find the example attached.

I couldn't find an easy-to-use dropdown box, so I modified my UI to avoid using them.  I haven't evaluated GaetanGodart's proposed solution below, but if you do so, please post your thoughts.  I would certainly like to see ST make a robust dropdown control that's available in the toolbox, rather than trying to cobble together several other elements to act as one control.

Hello @alanoatwork and @jchernus-fikst ,

We will consider adding a dropdown menu in a future release.
