    Drop down menu in Forms

    This is my first time attempting to create a form in PC-DMIS. I have all of the graphics set up how I'd like it so at least that is squared away. I am making this as a tool to keep track of broken probes without having to physically count them every week. During calibration it will ask if a probe was broken, if so which one? Then the form will open with a drop down menu asking which probe broke. I know how to do this with a normal input comment but the window isn't as user friendly as a form can be.
    My question is, how do I pass a value depending on which drop down item is selected in the form to a variable in PC-Dmis so I can use that variable later in the program?
    I've went through the help menu but I still cant5seem to figure it out.
    Thanks again everyone!

    How can I use a drop down list for Comments on a report? - PC-DMIS User Forum
    https://www.pcdmisforum.com/forum/pc-dmis-enterprise-metrology-software/pc-dmis-for-cmms/448571-how-can-i-use-a-drop-down-list-for-comments-on-a-report
    We are trying to use comments for them to display on the excel report that is created. We have some code to do that, however we need it to be a drop down list so that they cannot put wrong labels on the report. I want it so that when they start up the program it prompts them to input the machine number and shift from drop down

    You wouldn't happen to know how to create a button that automatically continues with the program in the form would you?
    i used the code in the help menu and it gave me an error message..

      When the form opens I have code that hides the execution dialog window.

      Then there's a button on the form which shows the execution window dialog and closes the form (after verifying all date required is present and correct)

      I realized the example in the help menu was specific to the example as a whole. I deleted the code that was not valid and it worked great. I used a normal button feature that says "OK." In the eventclick section I entered "TheView.Cancel" and it gave me the desired result. Thank you for your help! Understanding these forms will really help my programming abilities.

    I was successful doing what I originally posted about. Both of you helped me get a better understanding of Forms and I appreciate your help.
