In the pane on the right, set the properties of each control as described below.

Data
| |
Parent |
(Not available for the first control.) Creates a context-sensitive control by setting different values for this control depending on the value selected for the parent control. If you specify one or more data parents, the Values or Range table expands to include a column for each combination of the data parent values, so you can assign a different list for each combination. |

Add Parent |
Adds another Parent field. |

Values |
Populates the list with values you type. Type one value per cell. Press Enter or Tab to move between cells. |
