"dynamic" DropDown Menu

[BuehlerMech]

Hello

I'm very new to HMI and C# as well - but willing to learn.

For a project we need a dropdown menu to choose "recipes" from a contoller.
The names of the recipes should come from the controller.
first question, after reading a little bit in this forum:

- i read that a standard Touch Combo Box Object can not be filled like that. and in runtime mode not at all, if there would be a changing.

thats my next point:
there should be a analaog nummeric object, where you can see the recipe-name as well and then change and save. the new name should be in the dropdown list again.

i also read, this is possible with the standard windows-objects (ListBox or ComboBox)

- now, how do you fill them? in the "Data Source" field i think so. but what do i have to write there? a tagname? or directly the path from the contoller?

thanks in advance for any help
kind regards
BM
