Default How do I Get a String... or any variable for that matter?

With VB, I've used the GetOpenFilename and GetSaveAsFilename methods to
acquire text strings to be used for other parts of my scripts, but I can't
find a simple "Get" method that simply allows the user to select from a list
of strings to determine the course of the macro to continue. Y'know, like
"Select an Option"--"Run Evens Only","Run Odds Only","Run Both". That's it.
I've wasted hours searching through an 867-page manual and can't find
anything. "InputBox" method comes close, but it asks for the string to be
typed in. I need the input option to be a pre-defined list, or even buttons.
Is there a key word I'm missing? I've looked under "get", "acquire",
"select", "choose", "pick". Please help.
