I got asked to make a dropdown tutorial so here it is, let me drop this knowledge into your life! :D

[SelaMalka]

Exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you!

[gmangman]

very usefull tutorial again. Thx my friend!

[ghoste]

When I add the script on the "On Value Changed" event thing, I get a number next to it saying "0" which can be changed, whenever I change the dropdown, it doesn't actually change the selected option, it DISPLAYS the second option, but in reality, nothing changed

[aelren]

[thewebexpert]

Is there a place I can download this example? Not only is my number not updating properly, the list isn't expanding the way it should.

[peterwan]

I cannot click at my dropdown box and show the dropdown options by default for some I am using TM Pro v3.0.x

[BmoreGaming]

Great Tutorial! I'm curious though, I thought in order to change anything during runtime the code would need to be within the Update method. Why is that not the case here?

Hi Matt, just the man! Is there any way of creating or having a reflection probe on UI text?

[sonwukong]

Looks excellent, it would be interesting to see how it can be done in the new UI toolkit

[amaniwebber-schultz]

Wondering if you’d have any advice on how to change the size of a game object from a press on the drop down?

[robertogiudici]

You use a Text label as variable, that seems creepy

How about to create a tuts not for 5 years old children?
