You could use an import block to bring in the Group node and then set what you don't want to Invisible. https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/76409 [www.sidefx.com]

Hi,
You can do it with this option:
Thanks for your reply, that's the method I'm using, but I want the selected item to have a tick mark to indicate it is selected like the Group node, is there any way to do that?
From what I know the checkmark only shows for single selection options, not the multi selection ones. So try using Replace ( Field + Single Selection Menu) option.

GlenDThank you for your answer, but instead of referencing the Group node's parameter in my HDA panel, I want to create a String parameter and have a similar menu with the "√" symbol.

I tried it, and neither seemed to have the same effect.

Awesome, thanks. I am dynamically building the menu through Python, I guess I would have to query the parameter, find which one is selected, then add the checkmark to the label, is that correct?
That's what I was thinking.

Do you happen to have any code for this?
Sorry, just a random thought, not tested.

Checkmarks seem to be available on menus built with HDK only (I only see them on compiled nodes), I couldn't find a way to do this when building an HDA, in many cases the trick is to promote a parameter that already has that menu with checkmark (group parameter in most cases).
As said by @jsmack, a checkmark string can help here, I tried this and it works fine :

a = ("a", "A") b = ("b", "B") pairs = [a, b] menu = [] for p in pairs: menu.append(p[0]) if p[0] in hou.evalParm("my_list").split(" "): menu.append(p[1] + " ✓") else: menu.append(p[1]) return menu
