Droplists don't work this way. However, pull-down menu
buttons do. It would be quite easy to build your own
CW_DROPMENU program in which the value of the "droplist"
button changed to reflect the current button selection.

One big advantage of such a "droplist" button is that
you could get and change its value in a straightforward
way. In fact, you could even put the value (rather than
that damn index number) in the event structure. :-)

Perhaps if I get some time later today I'll write such
a compound widget as an object. I've had several requests
to show how this could be done.

Cheers,

David
