### 19.1 Select Object

A select object is a rather simple object that allows the user to pick alternatives from a linear list that pops up when he clicks on the object. It remembers the last selected item, which is also shown on top of the select object.

The select object internally uses a popup (see Part III Popups) and thus it can be helpful to understand at lest some aspects of how popups work to fully grasp the functionality of select objects.
