Drop-down list

OK, I have looked at the ComboBox and I don't like it.  It looks clunky, not very fast and hard to style.

 

Is there anything else that I can use as a drop-down list?  

 

Can I make my own, if so any tutorials?

 

Any third party options?  JQuery?

 

Anything?  The ComboBox is jsurt so retro Flash. Yuk.

    Hi.

     

    I've just answered the other topic you created.

     

    Summarizing: you can apply to the ComboBox any visual you want using CSS. But you can also add regular HTML elements at runtime (e.g.: select and option elements) or you can create a dropdown menu using Movie Clips and other canvas/CreateJS based objects.

    All UI components in HTML5 Canvas documents are literally native browser elements. Flash doesn't enter into their appearance at all.

    This is in HTML5 Canvas with JavaScript.
