List Item Types In Oracle Forms

There are three types of list items:

  • Poplists
  • Tlists
  • Combo Boxes.
Poplists, which are the default type. They restrict the user from selecting only from the list elements that are displayed. 
Tlist style list item appears as a rectangular box, which displays a fixed number of values. When the Tlist contains values that cannot be displayed (due to the displayable area of the item), a vertical scroll bar appears, allowing the end user to view and select undisplayed values.
 
A combo box is nearly identical to a poplist in look and functionality except that it allows users to enter values that are not defined on the list. A good rule of thumb is to limit the number of values in a list item to 15. If the list grows much larger than 15, you should consider using a List of Values object, LOVs.
