<p>You can use the Choice list API in all GUI applications. It is a library

API that provides an interface for constructing and using the choice list

UI component.</p>

<p>You can use the choice list in two ways, with or without the current selection. </p>

<p>If the current selection is displayed, there is an label showing the currently

selected item and an arrow button indicating that a list is available. </p>

<p>If without current selection, the choice list must be created with providing

a generic button to the list. This button will be used to open the list for

selection. The label of the button is defined by the client application when

creating the button and will not be changed by the choice list.</p>

a vertical list of selectable items</xref>.</p>
