Cannot set droplist caption in code on PocketPC
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

Problem:        Cannot set a droplist caption via code on PocketPC, unless that caption is one of the items in the droplist control's list table.  If the caption does not exist as an item in the list, the control caption is blank.  On the PalmOS platform, any text can be used to set the droplist control caption, regardless of whether it is included in the list table or not.


Solution:        There is no solution to this problem at the current time.  Unfortunately, this problem does appear to be caused by platform differences in the way that droplist controls are implemented on the PocketPC platform compared to the PalmOS platform.  The droplist control just does not support "unliked" captions on the PocketPC OS, whereas this is supported in the PalmOS platform.  We have not yet found an acceptable way to overcome this PocketPC OS platform limitation in Satellite Forms.
