How can I display the items in a PopupMenu , which is fed by a list, without the curly brackets? The sample code is:
list = {{1, a, x}, {2, b, y}, {3, c, z}}
Manipulate[Grid[{p}, Frame -> All], {p, list, ControlType -> PopupMenu}]
The result currently looks like this:
I would do it this way.
items = # -> Row[#, " "] & /@ {{1, a, x}, {2, b, y}, {3, c, z}}
Manipulate[
Grid[{p}, Frame -> All],
{{p, items[[1, 1]]}, items, PopupMenu}]
PopupMenu?

items = # -> Row[#, ", "] & /@ {{1, a, x}, {2, b, y}, {3, c, z}} -- the 2nd argument of Row sets what goes between the items in the 1st argument. If you don't like the space after the comma, just delete the space from ", ".

You can provide a custom controller function to your Manipulate that provides a PopupMenu with appropriate custom labels:
list = {{1, a, x}, {2, b, y}, {3, c, z}}
Manipulate[
Grid[{p}, Frame -> All],
{
(*Initial value for the control*)
{p, list[[1]]},
(*Custom controller function*)
Function[value, PopupMenu[value, (# -> Row[#, " "] &) /@ list]]
}
]
