Hi mikasue, Is it perhaps the Optionmenu you want? For example: `#!/usr/bin/perl -w + use strict; use warnings; + use Tk; + my @days = qw( Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday ); my $day = "Sunday"; + my $mw = MainWindow->new; my $fr = $mw->Frame()->pack(); my $om = $fr->Optionmenu(-variable => \$day, -options => \@days, -command => sub { use_day() } )->pack(); MainLoop; + + sub use_day { print "The day you chose is ... $day\n"; }` [download] s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/	[reply] [d/l]

In addition to Optionmenu, BrowseEntry says it's a poor man's Combo box (I haven't used either one, so YMMV). Update: A list of alternatives is in the JComboBox docs.	[reply]

Many alternatives of dropdown box of Tcl/Tk are more attractive than perl/Tk (e.g. BrowseEntry et al were frustrating to me) So, you use Tcl/Tk's widgets via Tcl::Tk CPAN module and even native-looking (using Tile) and here you go!	[reply]
