Employment/Purpose

A bandbox is a special text box that embeds a customizable popup window (aka., a dropdown window). Like comboboxes, a bandbox consists of an input box and a popup window. The popup window is opened automatically, when users presses Alt+DOWN or clicks the magnifier button.

Unlike comboboxes, the popup window of a bandbox could be anything. It is designed to give developers the maximal flexibility. A typical use is to represent the popup window as a search dialog.

Example

<bandbox id="bd">
	<bandpopup>
		<vbox>
			<hbox>
				Search
				<textbox />
			</hbox>
			<listbox width="200px"
				onSelect="bd.value=self.selectedItem.label;    bd.closeDropdown();">
				<listhead>
					<listheader label="Name" />
					<listheader label="Description" />
				</listhead>
				<listitem>
					<listcell label="John" />
