How do you create a dropdown list/menu in turing without using GUI.CreateMenu.

This is often used in birthdays when registering for sites.

You can draw stuff with the Draw module, and handle mouse controls with Mouse.Where

Ok i get what your saying but I'm still new at turing and if anyone can, is there an example of a working drop-down list... I don't think it should be hard for more experienced programmers...

GUI.CreateMenu would be an example of a working drop-down list...

I think he meant an example that didn't require GUIs...

Just do what Tony said first and run a series of checks similar to how the GUI works. Start by drawing the first box, and when it's moused over, draw more. If any of those is clicked on, run a procedure.

Very possible with Mouse.Where and/or Mouse.ButtonMoved/Mouse.ButtonWait.
