Dropdown Options for Cluster inputs?

Grasshopper

Is it possible to have dropdown options that show up on right-click (ie. enumerations) in Clusters and User Objects?

I see them a lot in components from plugins, but now would like to add one for a User Object/Cluster I am creating. It shows the type as Integer, but I don’t get how I can create them myself as inputs.

Anybody how its done or can it only be done in “proper” components?

I want something like this in a cluster input:

dropdown-options

ps: bonus would be one of those where I can connect a Value List and it automatically populates it, which I have seen in a few components from plugins.

I’m afraid not. Those preset named values have to be added by the programmer in the source. There’s no UI for it.

Okay, thanks. Enumerations are always a bit tricky in most programming environments, but they are really powerful. It’s just super common to have several options for something and name them something a bit more comprehensible as 0,1,2,… … aheem… cough … dropdown lists in RCP… cough :wink:
