Hello Raj,
The List/Drop control is not yet available to "xml" style views. You
will need to implement the options dialog with your own
"plugin.onShowOptionsDlg " handler.
Here's an example based on the code you provided:
plugin.onShowOptionsDlg = showOptionsDlg;
function showOptionsDlg(wnd) {
var listItems = new Array("item 1", "item 2", "item 3");
var curSelectedItem = "item 2";
var list = wnd.AddControl(gddWndCtrlClassList,
gddWndCtrlTypeListDrop,"list", listItems, 10, 35, 280, 2000);
list.value = curSelectedItem;
wnd.onClose = onOptionsDlgClosed;
}
function onOptionsDlgClosed(wnd, code) {
if (code == gddIdOK) {
var list = wnd.GetControl("list");
view.alert(list.value);
} else if (code ==gddIdCancel) {
view.alert('Cancelled');
}
}
Keep in mind this is a feature of an older API, so any "options.xml"
will be ignored.
You can learn more about "AddControl" and the types of controls you can
add in the archived documentation:

How do I do this?
I saw this:
var listItems = new Array("item 1", "item 2", "item 3");
var curSelectedItem = "item 2";
var list = wnd.AddControl(gddWndCtrlClassList, gddWndCtrlTypeListDrop,
"list", listItems, 10, 35, 280, 2000);
list.value = curSelectedItem;
Where is wnd declared in the app? Is that supposed to instead be the
name of the Options form etc? That gives me a debug error?
I'm new to the gadget development.
Thanks.
