I have a page in my app with 2 Combo/Dropdown boxes on 2 seperate forms. These have various visibilities/active statuses set depening on how the form is currently being used, controlled by a variable and various other settings. This is probably unimportant.
I have one status box fed by a variable named "availableStatuses", this variable is changed by <things> to update the number of statuses on view. It drops down and allows me to select items from the list :
This Meshes with the current status of the "availableStatus" collection :
All good, all working. I have a second combo box set up almost identically on a second form on the same page that just.... wont behave. Its fed from a collection named "itemStatuses", which currently looks like :
Despite this the box looks like :
It has the correct default, but does not have a dropdown arrow to allow me to modify the value. The form is set to View but I've manually set this control to Edit. Amazingly if I set the control to Disabled it shows :
Any idea whats going on here?
Ok false alarm. This was due to the form mode of the second form being set to "View". The reason this worked for the same form is the form mode was always set to Edit, the person who set that form up was just setting the individual controls to "View" using a variable. The more you know.
Just to update - I'm playing around with this and I'm now convinved something about the way I've got the ComboBox set up is incorrect, as changing the items to availablestatuses causes the outcome to be the same (no dropdown).
