Just create a combo_box like this:
<combo_box
commit_callback.function="BuildTool.setTool"
>
<item value="Focus"/>
<item value="Move"/>
<item value="Edit"/>
<item value="Create"/>
<item value="Land"/>
</combo_box>
and put it in the proper spot in floater_tools.xml and everything should
just work.
FWIW, I recommend doing development of XUI in your OS-equivalent
Application Data directory:
on Windows 7, for example, copy floater_tools.xml to
c:\users\your_account\application
data\roaming\secondlife\skins\default\xui\en\ and edit in place.
Enjoy.
R.
