You could create your custom dropdown menu by using one single project form and some code.
The dropdown will display this form. No overhead. Have a look at the type ahead component I published a while ago, you could adapt the concept I use there to build your own dropdown menu. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: 4D_Tech [mailto:4d_tech-boun...@lists.4d.com] Im Auftrag von Piotr Chabot Stadhouders via 4D_Tech Gesendet: Samstag, 26.

I would suspect a subform is "heavier" than a simple field or button for example. Can someone tell me what the subform performance overhead is? After all, when inserting 100 widget I am in fact inserting 100 subforms.
