Hello,

I'm having trouble with the DropList control. Suppose that I add some item with string description 'test' to the DropList. It will be added and visible. When I click the DropList, everything is okay. Now I change the string representation of this element to 'somethingelse', but I don't yet click the DropList. The DropList will not reflect the new string representation of the element, even when I call 'Refresh'. How can I make sure it refreshes without having to drop the list?

Thanks in advance!

How do you change it?

Anyway, in general, the value displayed in DropList is not really the value from the list - it is independent. In fact, DropList can even display value that is not in the list (some setup of DropList is needed for this).

So if I understand your situation well, I think you will need to reassign the value (using <<= aka SetData). If not, provide better explanation and testcase please.

Hi Mirek,

I'm sorry, I use a 'virtual' DropList made by somebody on the forum a few years ago. I realized that I should go through the logic I use there, and try to add something to fix it. I use the following (maybe something for the U++ framework if not already in it):

VirtualDropList.h

#ifndef _VirtualDropList_VirtualDropList_h_
#define _VirtualDropList_VirtualDropList_h_

NAMESPACE_UPP

class VirtualPopUpTable : public PopUpTable {
public:
	void Virtual() {
		AddRowNumColumn(String()).Accel();
		NoHeader();
		HeaderTab(0).SetMargin(0);
		MouseMoveCursor();
		NoGrid();
		AutoHideSb();
		SetLineCy(Draw::GetStdFontCy());
		NoPopUpEx();
	}
};

class VirtualDropList : public MultiButton {
protected:
	VirtualPopUpTable list;
	int index;
	int dropwidth;
	const Convert *valueconvert;
	const Display *valuedisplay;
	bool dropfocus;
	bool notnull;

	void GoBegin()       { if (GetCount()) SetIndex(0); }
	void GoEnd()         { if (GetCount()) SetIndex(GetCount() - 1); }

	VirtualDropList& SetDisplay(const Display& d, int lcy);
	VirtualDropList& ValueDisplay(const Display& d);
	VirtualDropList& DropFocus(bool b = true)              { dropfocus = b; return *this; }
	VirtualDropList& NoDropFocus()                         { return DropFocus(false); }
	VirtualDropList& AlwaysDrop(bool e = true);

I use the VirtualDropList::SetCount(c) function to set the virtual element count, and the function looked as follows before:

void SetCount(int c)           { list.SetCount(c); EnableDrop(c > 0 ? true : false); }


I added a call to Sync(); at the end of this function, and now the redrawing works as expected. Smile

Thanks for your reply! You set me thinking about what is actually under the hood of the control. Smile
