Hi,
I am looking for some help in creating a ComboBox control for one of the custom properties that is defined on a shape / object. Is this possible ? If yes, then how does one go about doing it ? If it is possible, it would be great if you could point to so
me resource or explain how to do it.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

- Open the Custom Properties Window and select your shape. Right click in the
window and choose Define Properties. Select the property you want to change
from the list at the bottom of the dialog. Then change the Type to Fixed
List or Variable List. In the Format field, enter the choices for the list
separated by semi-colons. Then click OK. A Fixed List restricts the user
to the choices in the Format field. A Variable List allows the user to
enter a value that is not in the choices list.
