Creating a Drop list menu in using Dialog in shell script.
 

Hi,

I am trying to create a drop down list in Dialog using Shell script. I referred the below links for my work, it was usefull. But there is no option for dropdown list menu creation in these.



Pls let me know can we have a drop down or Some workaround in DIALOG.

A "dropdown" is just one way to present information and without telling us why you would need it I'd say use "--menu" instead.

Menu option is only to display the items.

The scenario is to display the items dynamically when somethings is selected


Menu 1 (Checklist Menu)

* Source Dir

* Destn Dir


When Source Dir is selected need to display a list of configured path
on select of the specific path certain parameters has to be displayed on the same screen



--menu will only display the selection (done on checklist menu)

Menu is for selecting an item.


You'll have to adjust the decision making flow to what functionality dialog offers you.

I have more than one fields that needs a drop down list in the same menu.


Menu list is for only one type of listing.

I could post the same answer again but instead maybe you could take a cue from your conclusion in one of your previous threads:

I have to try a little bit before thinking of Re-designing.....

Manual pages and docs didnt help me much so posted the question.


Thanks,
