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.
