Maybe user error, some of it, not sure.

Pop-up menus: It's a small thing for sure, but I cannot find a way to remove the check margin. You'd think that it would have a property to not show it when you don't use it. Tiny thing but it annoys me every time I open a menu.

If there's a way to remove the check margin, please advise.

List Boxes: Maybe I'm missing a method but there doesn't seem to be a "ListBox" primitive, an object that is nothing but a simple list box with a scroll bar. I can only find popup menus and similar. How do you make something that behaves like a standard windows list box where you list X things and trigger something on selection change?

Thanks in advance.

For the droplist prim, keep the "check" input empty to disable the checkbox.

There's an "index selector" prim which is similar to listbox, but it doesn't draw to GUI. You could certainly create one yourself, and I'm sure others have done so already so you may try searching the examples forum.

@RJ: Thanks. It never occurred to me to search the forum. :oops: I will next time.

That Ruby code is worthy of study. Very nice. :)

@Perfect Human Interface: Thanks for your reply. I want to completely hide the margin there if possible, not just never check anything but hide the margin completely.

@The Forum: I appreciate you guys being so nice to help a relative newbie. That speaks volumes to the maturity and kindness of the forum in general, to not just go "RTFM" (or STFF :)) on every question, but to respond and help. It's so damn unusual in this day and age to find forums with knowledgeable people who are also patient and helpful, and not aggressive and egotistical.

I am highly impressed by the maturity here. It reflects very well on the product in general.
