Extension object dropdown menu in sheet

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Does anyone have an extension object that create a Dropdown Menu that for example could be used to display customers name or similar.

I have found dropdown menus for the tab menu, but it doesn't work for me.

Kind regards

I can't think of one from top of my head.

But do you care to elaborate a little bit on the use case? I'm guessing you are looking for something similar to a listbox but with dropdown capabilities?

The multi-box could work as a poor-mans dropdown if you need a quick fix.

Thanks for the answer. I've been thinking about the same, guess that is the way to go.

The problem with the dropdown extension from Petra Bloem is that it does not keep the parent sheet highlighted in the navigation bar once it is clicked (or one of its sub-items is clicked). Does anyone know how to solve this?

Regards,

Hi Miguel,

I have found a solution, not the best, but it's working:

Replace the lines:

if (isLink) {

tabelem.innerHTML = '<a href="javascript:;">'+sheetTitle+'</a>';

} else {

tabelem.innerHTML = "<span>" +sheetTitle + "</span>";

}

by these lines:

var TypeTitle = "";

var linkTitle = "";

if (isLink) {

linkTitle = ' href="javascript:location.reload()"';//location.reload();"';

TypeTitle = 'a';

} else {

linkTitle = "";

TypeTitle = 'span';

}

var shifted = false;

if(!shifted)

{

$('.QvFrame').each(function(){

var lesClasses=$(this).attr('class');

var SheetName = "QvFrame Document_" + sheetTitle;

if (lesClasses == SheetName)

{

TypeTitle = 'cur';

}

});

shifted = true;

}

tabelem.innerHTML = '<'+TypeTitle+linkTitle+'>'+sheetTitle+'</'+TypeTitle+'>';

Next, create on the css file new style 'cur'.

You can copy style 'a' and change the color.

A last thinks to do, is to create on each sheet an text object, withe the Id='name of the sheet'.

(I have not find the code to load the sheetname)
