A list box control is a list of options where the user can only select one of the predefined options in a box. The selected option will determine the data source that prints when BarTender executes a print job.
The List Box Control Properties dialog specifies the properties of a list box control on the data entry form. It can be accessed using one of the following methods:
-
In the template design area, open the Properties dialog for the object whose data will be entered at print-time. Select the desired data source. On the open property page, select the Transform tab. Select the 
icon next to Data Entry Control. In the Data Entry dialog, select or create a list box control. Click Properties to open the List Box Control Properties dialog.
-
When designing the Data Entry Form, select the desired list box control. Double-click on the list box control to open the List Box Control Properties dialog. Alternatively, you can open the context menu and select Properties.
List Box Property Page
The List Box property page allows you to define the dimensions, alignment, and reading order of the selected list box control.
Properties
-
Add Text Input Box on top. When enabled, inserts a Text Input Box above the predefined list of options. This allows users to enter a value that does not appear in the list box control.
-
Width. Defines the horizontal dimension of the list box control in the specified unit of measurement.
-
Height. Defines the vertical dimension of the list box control in the specified unit of measurement.
-
Alignment. Defines the alignment of the list box control.
-
Reading order. Sets the reading order for the list box control. Choose Auto to use the reading order of the selected typeface. Selecting a reading order that is not supported by the selected typeface results in BarTender treating the text as directionally mixed.
