Edit Entry List Dialog Box

The Edit Entry List dialog box enables you to modify an existing list of entries to be used as input for the control at runtime.

You display the Edit Entry List dialog box by selecting a control on the Layout board that has an entry list defined for it and clicking the browse button next to the Entry list field in the Configure Element task panel, or by right-clicking the control and choosing Entry List from the context menu.
