- One small PopUp problem I haven't seen addressed is having a lot of
- entries in a PopUp or PopDown (whatever those downward expanding PopUp
- menus are called). There needs to be something that is able to,
- perhaps, scroll the choices up and down the way Mac pull-down menus do
- when the menu is too long to display on the screen.
-
- Has anything been done in 3.0 to handle this situation?
-
- I wish that merely using a scrollView were a suitable replacement for
- such problems, but the ability of the PopUp to give an infinite number
- of choices as well as show the chosen one in a very small space and
- almost instantly is *very* handy. I would hate to have to revert to a
- button bringing up a panel that had a scrollView in it. That would
- seem so cumbersome to me as a user.
