Hi all,

The use case is to create a button that shows the options available for a parameter and then allows the user to select any of the entries:

Can this be done in Visual Overview? How?

Thank you for your help.

Yes, this is possible by using the ParameterControl shape data. As indicated in the help, you can use the write parameter and you're good to go.

If you would like to use the read parameter, then you will need one extra shape data, i.e. ParameterControlOptions : includeWrite

Hi Jarno,
That worked great, thank you for the help.
I was wondering if there is a way to reduce the size of text? Even using the options “Lite”, the shape remains larger than what I intended.

There are a couple of ParameterControlOptions you could use to customize your control, i.e. TitleFont, ValueFont, CustomColors, CustomTitle, etc.
