Description
UIDropdown is a graphical control element that allows the user to choose one value from a list. When activated, it displays (drops down) a list of values, from which the user may select one.
The list is an array of strings, numbers or Integers:
| ["Oak", "Birch", "Cherry", "Walnut"] |
| [100,200,300,400,500] |
| [1,2,3,4,5] |

Project Example:
In your kBridge Examples Projects folder open the project called ‘MyTable’.
Reference Location:
“world.mytable.tableui.tableui0.inputscontainer.inputscontainer0.contentfieldset.contentfieldset0.contentpanel.contentpanel0.contentcontainer.contentcontainer0.materialfieldset.materialfieldset0.materialdropdown.materialdropdown0”
Link: https://knowledgebridge.engineer/projects
Open the MyTable project.
Press the UI start icon to start the User Interface.
A rule was created in the root (MyTable) called ‘MaterialSelectedTable’ which is a string type with a default of ‘Birch’. When a material is selected in the UI it sets the ‘MaterialSelectedTable’ to the chosen material.
In the example image below, “Oak” was selected and you can tell that the rule is getting its value from the UI by the ‘world.mytable’ in the Owner column. Also the text in in bold.
