Hi,
When using Combo Box() it is possible to add a "tipstr" so that when the user hovers on the list options the relevant tip will appear:
MyList = {"Item1"("tip1"),
"Item2"("tip2"),
"Item3"("tip3")};
P=Combo Box(MyList, num=P<<GET></GET>
The problem is that when I try to pass a variable I get the variable name as a tip, when I try to concatenate a string and a variable I get "concat" in return and if I try to cast the variable as string I get in return the function I used as a tip...
Any idea on how to solve this is welcome:)
I use JMP 12
JMP Online Documentation:
Combo Box({item <(tipstr)>, ...}, )&amp;amp;amp;lt;/DIV&amp;amp;amp;gt;
&amp;amp;amp;lt;DIV class="S3message"&amp;amp;amp;gt;Constructs a display box that is a drop-down list. Returns the display box object.&amp;amp;amp;lt;/DIV&amp;amp;amp;gt;

&amp;amp;amp;lt;PRE&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;CODE class=" language-jsl"&amp;amp;amp;gt;Names Default To Here( 1 );

tipList = {"This is One", "this is two", "this is three"};
finalList = {};
For( i = 1, i &amp;amp;amp;lt;= N Items( displayList ), i++,
finalList[i] = Parse( "\!"" || displayList[i] || "\!"(\!"" || tipList[i] || "\!")" )
);
New Window( "Example",
cb = Combo Box(
Eval( finalList ),
selection = cb &amp;amp;amp;lt;&amp;amp;amp;lt; GetSelected();
Print( "Selected: " || selection );
)
);&amp;amp;amp;lt;/CODE&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/PRE&amp;amp;amp;gt;

),
Expr( __1__ ), tipList[1],
