Windows style dropdowns in FPD 2.6?

[skoalnreds]

Has anybody designed a Windows-style dropdown (where you click the
drop arrow (invisible button in FPD?) next to the field with text in
it) in FPD26, where it displays a list below the "field" with the
current value selected in the list, and lets the user to make another
choice from the list. The list should disappear after the user hits
ENTER or clicks on an item from the list, or presses ESC and the value
chosen from the list displayed to the (disabled?) GET field to the
left of the arrow? The users here don't like the FPD "popups" as they
take up three lines on the screen just to display them, and porting to
VFP, Harbour, etc. isn't an option, unfortunately.

I haven't looked at FPD since around 1995 but ISTR there were GenscrnX
drivers that did what you want. God only knows if they're still
available, but odds are good that Google will find them.

*But* they'd require an additional READ level and way too many FPD apps
were perpetually at the limit.
