# Create a RecipePlus selector

The RecipePlus selector is a list of recipe files and recipe units available in the application. Use the selector to select from the list of recipes and their associated units. When a recipe is selected, it becomes the "current" recipe, and becomes the object of subsequent recipe operations, such as upload, download, restore, etc., performed on that display.

When the selector object is selected, the operator can scroll through the list and select recipe files using key button objects, or by using the arrow keys and the Enter key on a keypad or external keyboard. Key button objects can also be linked directly to the selector so that they will work whether the selector is selected or not.

## To create a RecipePlus selector

1. In the Graphics Display editor, select Objects > RecipePlus > Selector.
2. Drag the mouse to position and draw a rectangle of the general size and in the general location that you want the selector to be.
3. Double-click the selector to open its Properties dialog box.
4. In the Properties tabs, specify how the selector looks, how it will show recipes, and its common properties.

   Tip: | There can only be one RecipePlus selector on a graphic display. Attempts to add a second one produce an error message.
