In my previous post, I shared about the [custom dialog box on TinyMCE](https://codeanddeploy.com/blog/javascript/tinymce-custom-dialog-box-example). Now I will share how to add a select box to your custom dialog box on TinyMCE. I will provide an example so that easier to implement to your TinyMCE configuration.

 

See the example below:

To add selectbox here is the example settings below:

```php
{
    type: 'selectbox',
    name: 'selected_style',
    label: 'Select style',
    items: [
        {text: 'Primary', value: 'primay style'},
        {text: 'Success', value: 'success style'},
        {text: 'Error', value: 'error style'}
    ],
    flex: true
}
```

Here is the complete setup code:

```php
setup: function (editor) {
    editor.ui.registry.addButton('custom_dialog', {
        text: 'Open Custom Dialog',
        onAction: function() {
            // Open a Dialog
            editor.windowManager.open({
                title: 'Custom dialog box',
                body: {
                    type: 'panel',
                    items: [{
                        type: 'input',
                        name: 'custom_data',
                        label: 'Custom data',
                        flex: true
                    },{
                        type: 'selectbox',
                        name: 'selected_style',
                        label: 'Select style',
                        items: [
                            {text: 'Primary', value: 'primay style'},
                            {text: 'Success', value: 'success style'},
                            {text: 'Error', value: 'error style'}
                        ],
                        flex: true
                    }]
                },
                onSubmit: function (api) {
                    // insert markup
                    editor.insertContent('Inserted custom data: <b>' + api.getData().custom_data + '</b> <br>and your selected style: <b>' + api.getData().selected_style) + '</b>';

                    // close the dialog
                    api.close();
                },
                buttons: [
                    {
                        text: 'Close',
                        type: 'cancel',
                        onclick: 'close'
                    },
                    {
                        text: 'Insert',
                        type: 'submit',
                        primary: true,
                        enabled: false
                    }
                ]
            });
        }
    });
}
```
