var w = new window ('dialog {text:"blatchford termbase",alignchildren:"fill"}');
w.spacing=0;

var headers = w.add('group');
headers.spacing=0;
headers.margins=[0,5,0,0];
var dimh = [0,0,200,20];

headers.add('statictext', dimh, '\u00a0english');
headers.add('statictext', dimh, '\u00a0french');
headers.add('statictext', dimh, '\u00a0german');
headers.add('statictext', dimh, '\u00a0italien');
headers.add('statictext', dimh, '\u00a0spanish');
headers.add('statictext', dimh, '\u00a0norwegian');
headers.add('statictext', dimh, '\u00a0russian');
headers.add('statictext', dimh, '\u00a0turkish');

headers.graphics.backgroundcolor=w.graphics.newbrush(w.graphics.brushtype.solid_color, [0.7,0.7,0.7],1);

for (var = 0; i<headers.children.length; i++)

headers.children[i].graphics.font=scriptui.newfont ('myriad pro', 'bold' , 16)

 

var columns = w.add('group{multiselect:true}');
columns.spacing=0;

var dimc = [0,0,200,600];

var col1 = columns.add('listbox', dimc, ["dorsiflexion", "plantarflexion","trans-tibial","trans-femoral"]);
var col2 = columns.add('listbox', dimc, ["dorsiflexion", "plantarflexion","trans-tibial","trans-femoral"]);
var col3 = columns.add('listbox', dimc, ["dorsiflexion", "plantarflexion","trans-tibial","trans-femoral"]);
var col4 = columns.add('listbox', dimc, ["dorsiflexion", "plantarflexion","trans-tibial","trans-femoral"]);
var col5 = columns.add('listbox', dimc, ["dorsiflexion", "plantarflexion","trans-tibial","trans-femoral"]);
var col6 = columns.add('listbox', dimc, ["dorsiflexion", "plantarflexion","trans-tibial","trans-femoral"]);
var col7 = columns.add('listbox', dimc, ["dorsiflexion", "plantarflexion","trans-tibial","trans-femoral"]);
var col8 = columns.add('listbox', dimc, ["dorsiflexion", "plantarflexion","trans-tibial","trans-femoral"]);

 

var user_input = w.add('group')
var entry = user_input.add('edittext',dimh, '');
entry.characters=30;
entry.alignment='left';
entry.active=true;

col1.selection=0;

var convert = user_input.add('button', undefined, 'convert lower case');
convert.onclick=function() {entry.text=entry.text.tolowercase();}
user_input.orientation='row';
user_input.alignment='left';

 

w.show();

 

any or comments appreciated

try this

 

col1.onchange =   col2.onchange =  col3.onchange =   col4.onchange =   col5.onchange =   col6.onchange =   col7.onchange =   col8.onchange =  function() {   entry.text = this.selection? this.selection.text : "";   }
