Hi there,
I don't have a lot of experience with Matlab and I am loosing time doing something simple, well it should be simple.
I have a live script electronic program that needs to enter components values with their units. I'd like to use something that will look like this.

but all I can do is this

the drop down box is configure like this


1 - Can I have a dropdown box to the right of the edit field for the units ?
2 - Can the Item values be numeric values ?
Also I would like to add the Items Labels and Item values in a file and load them at the beginning of the script because I use them all the time and I don't want to type them every time.
Matlab dates back to the DOS era (my era) and it shows. It's just a patchwork of attempts to keep the language up-to-date. Ugly code, in my opinion, with some strengths it's true but...
Thank you, bye.
