Hi Kenneth,
ImageJ uses java.AWT, the native toolkit of the operating system. The length of the list displayed on the screen for a java.awt.Choice is determined by the operating system and/or java.awt, not by ImageJ. I see not Java method to modify this. On my system (Linux Ubuntu 16.04) I can see a maximum of 10 items. The only way out that I see would be manually creating a PopupMenu; these show all items. You could show it e.g. when pressing some button (like, e.g., the More>> button of the RoiManager), and you could add the button to a Panel, which can be added to the GenericDialog. But that would be a nasty hack... Michael ________________________________________________________________ On 21.06.19 08:30, Kenneth Sloan wrote: > never got a request to confirm.

Thank you for the reply. I will train my users to scroll.

Hello Kenneth,
Since version 1.52k, you can use a table of any length for interactive input, I already used it for a similar case. See http://wsr.imagej.net/macros/TableSelectionDemo.txt Norbert > > > > On 26.
