I have been looking at some of the LiveCycle Designer documentation and I don't see that I can do this but I just want to check with any expert scripters out there to make sure one if I can or cannot.

I would like to use the execMenuItem method in a LiveCycle Designer form to do a custom dropdown. I have a very confined area 12x12 so a Dropdown list doesn't work. The nice thing about the execMenuItem is that I can make subcatagories.

You can use nearly all of the "app" methods and properties in a LiveCycle form. But I don't think you mean the "execMenuItem()" fucntion. I think you're thinking about the "app.popUpMenu()" function. Both work just fine in any LC form.
