A drop-down box allows users to make a selection from a list of options. For a complete list of Drop-Down Properties and their uses, see the Drop-down Properties reference table.

With a form loaded in the Form Designer:

1. Expand the Common Inputs section of the Toolbox and drag and drop a Drop-down object onto the page. 2. Expand the Main section of the Properties bar and in the Items subsection, two default list items (Item 1 and Item 2) are displayed. The caption is the name that appears in the list itself. 3. Change the default list items. Click on a default Item in the caption column and enter the new name. 4. To control the value returned for a list item, click the Value column and enter the value. 5. Or, you may click the Predefined List button to choose a list to populate the drop-down automatically: U.S. States, Countries, Canadian Provinces or any custom list resources that were set up on the account. See Adding an Account Resource > List. 6. To add another option to the list, click the Add Item button. To remove options from the list, click the Remove Item button. 7. To change the list order, click the up or down arrows. 8. To indicate a default selection, select the Selected check box in the table. This option will be selected by default if the user does not choose another option.
