Pull Down menus contaning data/text and nothing else

[crawfordscott]

Is it possible to create a pull down menu containing nothing but text(Information/Data).

We spend so much time garnering information from catalogues when filling in attribute boxes  it would be great if we could put all of this information into a menu with sub menus.

eg If Attribute A is X and Attribute B is Y  (Say, Manufacturer and Type)  then what are Attributes C and D (Say, Voltage and Power) which will be dependant on A & B 

Thanks in anticipation

I think your biggest problem will be making the list to use, I would suggest using excel as you can copy and paste easy, just a random suggestion would have multiple lists covering each manufacturer, then go further with company details in list.

(setq coroma (("Coroma" "TOILET" "TYPE1" "Lefthanded")(("Coroma" "TOILET" "TYPE1" "righthanded")("Coroma" "TOILET" "TYPE2" "Lefthanded")........)

You can use =concatenate command in excel and build a single column for the list coding so it can be pasted into your lisp code. The other way is to make text files that get read in as required. Say a csv.

I did something similar for Acad -> use excel lookup table -> result to Acad.

My multi radios button lisp could be used to keep selecting what is next similar to Lee's excellent list box. Reading data as required from the list or text file.
