Create a control list selector

Use the control list selector to select from a list of states for a process or operation. The list is highlighted to show the current state, and the operator can scroll through the list to select a different state. The value assigned to the selected state is written to the data source.
When the control list object is selected, the operator can scroll through the list and select states using key buttons or by using the arrow keys and
Enter
 key on a keypad or an external keyboard. Key buttons can also be linked directly to the control list selector so that they will work whether the selector is selected or not.
