Command Reference - List Box Object Properties
The Settings tab is where you can configure the settings for the currently selected List Box Object.
The list of items that will appear in the list box. You can either load a list in from a text file, or type the items right into the list one item at a time.
Each item consists of a single line of text, and an optional string of internal data that can be associated with the item.
The item is the visible part; it's what shows up in the list, and it's what the user will see as the item. The data is an optional invisible part; it doesn't show up in the list, and is only visible to the "List Box Object - Get Item Data" action.
To associate data with an item, add it to the end of the item after
a pair of colons, like this:
item::data
Use the New ( 
) button to add a new item to the list.
Use the Delete ( 
) button to remove the selected item from the list.
Use the Move Up ( 
) button to move the selected item up one position
in the list.
Use the Move Down (
) button to move the selected item down one position
in the list.
Use this button to export the list of items to a text file. (One item per line in the text file.)
Use this button to import a list of items from a text file. (One item per line in the text file.)
Use this button to clear the list of items.
Makes the Select font (
) button available so you can configure the font
settings for the object's text.
When this option is disabled, the list box will use the standard system font for the item text.
Opens the Font dialog, where you can configure the font settings for the object's text. (Use this button to choose the font, size, style, whether the text should be anti-aliased, etc.)
This option is only available when the Use custom font option is enabled.
