		+	Combo Box Controls allow the Operator to select text items from a list. The list items are specified as semicolon separated strings in the Text Property for the Control. Combo Boxes are read in the same Manner as Edit Controls where the Var Parameter of the Control is used to request the contents of the Control. When KMotionCNC detects a non-zero value of the persist variable it uses the value as an offset into the Gather Buffer and places the selected text into the Gather Buffer.
		+
		+	KFLOP also maintains an EditChangeCount value which is incremented each time any Edit or ComboBox Control changes. See the ComboBoxCopyToDROLabelwhenChangedUnicode.c Example.
		+
		+	ComboBox Selections made by the Operator are maintained from one KMotionCNC Session to the next using a Disk file:

 =====Hierarchical Sub Script Files=====
-When creating multiple Screens with sections of Controls that are duplicated among screens, possibly re-positioned on the Screen, it is useful to make use of SubScript files. Selecting one or more Controls and setting a SubScript file name to them will move them to a separate file which will then be referenced from the main file. SubScript files can also reference SubScript files in a hierarchical manner.

 =====Instantaneous Feed Rate Display=====
 [https://youtu.be/w-bKvqXCd0Q https://youtu.be/w-bKvqXCd0Q]
 Normally the feed rate indication in KMotionCNC shows ''average'' feed rate over 100ms, assuming straight line motion. Here we use a C program to calculate a more instantaneous rate and display it on the KMotionCNC screen using the KMotionCNC screen editor. Here the C program samples two positions and times, computes the delta position and the delta time, formats it to a string and displays it onto DRO label 162 in KMotionCNC and it performs this action roughly every one ½ seconds. Here is the screen script for the screen shown on the left, we’ve added a type DRO label in the screen editor, edited colors and it is connected to persist variable 162. This job consist of a rapid helix bore at a rate of about 6 revolutions per second. It shows the instant feed rate being more correct.
