Pull-UP menu selector ?

[RJHollins]

Hi GANG ...

We all know about the 'Pull-DOWN' selector menu. Click the menu, the selection list drops below.

Was wondering ... for situations when a menu is at the bottom of the GUI, it would be useful if the pop-up portion of the menus opened above the selector [pull-UP].

Anyone invent this already ??

It'd be great if a 'toolbox' edition had a 'properties' choice to choose either design.

Something like this?

Maybe not the best/perfect solution but here it is, maybe you or someone else can improve on this.

Here is a version you can switch between 'normal' operation and 'inverse' operation.

Hi Tiffy ...

yeah ... that's a start !

Nice to be able to customize the placement until it can be made automatic based on number of entries and font size.

We also need to maintain the same action of the pull-down, where the selection name is displayed within the selector after made.

Still a good start .... thx

hello tiffy, good to see you again, hope you are fine again

i have a question to you Tiffy, would it be possible to rename all the threads where you deleted your content and which you named with "deleted by uploader", because me and others participated with some useful things there which is now impossible to find , i mean i don't care when you delete your own content, this is up to you, but why should others don't find any useful things where i and others invested time and effort to share it with the community..

sorry for the offtopic..

Here is a final effort that gives better results when oprating in the inverse mode in that the bottom of the droplist stays with the top of the button when the button is being resized. But you will have to enter the total number of items in addition to adj the knob to position the droplist in the desired position.

All this may be achieved to function automatically but it would require a lot of extra work.

Description also inside schematic.

works nice Tiffy ! thanks

I added a wireless connect to return the selection name back to the 'label' name
so that the selection is displayed in the main button.

Next ... to figure out getting a 'Pre-Set' management happening.

Here is a complete Selector Unit that have all the functions that you require (I think).

1) Normal & Inverse droplist Mode

2) Default Setting (Ctrl + mouse LDo Click). The Default Setting of the Selector works from the Index Value, not the Items number, because when you change the index Starting point [0 or 1] as I explained below - the displayed Items will not shift correspondingly. What I mean is this, the index is set to start at value [1] corresponding with Item 1 (as is currently the case by default) and if you change the Index starting point from value [1] to value [0] then Item [1] will correspond with Index number [0] instead of Index number [1].

3) Shows the Selection Names instead of the Menu Name.

4) All settings are available from the Properties Menu.

Note: If you want the Index to begin from [0] instead of [1] as I have set it by default, go inside the Selector (1st level) and you will see an Integer component with the value [1] typed in it, connected to the module output terminal - just change the [1] to a [0].

I have added the Setting for the Index starting Point Value [0 or 1] in the Properties Menu in v1.41.

Wow TIFFY .... looking inside, its much more involved than I first thought

But seems to be working GREAT Definite toolbox additions.

Thanks !
