Multiple Dynamic Select

Any suggestions on how to select (Boolean) a list of items that are dynamic?  I need a control that can scale to any size (< 50 element) so the customer can select what gets written to disk.  My first thought was a Boolean array but can’t create unique labels. List box doesn't scale dynamically either.

Hi,

I don't agree (or else i'm not understanding you) with you, when you say that listbox it's not dynamic. You can dynamic change it's content trought the property "itemNames".

Sorry, I was trying to say radio buttons.  I guess a list box will work for the task.  I was think more along the lines of a boolean control.
 
Thanks

and id you use simple things... Like the array of boolean and an array of strings. And in this, you could write the names.

What you think?

You can customize a slide control to look like radio buttons, but it won't resize nicely. I would also say go with the listbox. I use it and it works well.

The issue of using both is they would have to scroll and aligning the boolean to the string label together.  I belive the list box would work for this application.

Thanks all for the quick suggestions.  The consensus is the list box is the simplest to implement and will work for this application.
