Insert Symbol Dropdown - Find Symbols With Record Attached in Resource Manager

[stevenmorgan94]

Looking to replicate the dropdown menu similar to 'Lighting Device' or 'Truss' that searches all symbols in the Resource Manager with corresponding records attached. For those examples I see that there are 2 plugins (a Point Object and a Tool Object). Does anybody know what functions would point me in the right direction. I found CreateThumbnailPopup but I believe I would need to build that into a dialog instead of using the native symbol dropdown in VWX.

 

Right now I have a working version that prompts a text dropdown where you can select the Symbol name and that is inserted via:

PROCEDURE Symbol(
         symbolName      :STRING;
         pX,pY           :REAL;
         rotationAngle   :REAL);

But I am wanting more of a visible selection menu w/ thumbnails rather than just text.

The resource selector is done strictly using the folder structure, it does not filter external files by looking at the record.
I took a quick look and the resource selector is not currently available as an item you can add to the tool bar in a Vectorscript tool.
All the examples shown are from SDK tools.
