Re: Unable to get the selected value from a drop-down form field.

I agree Stefan, but unfortunately that is not an option for our company at this point. I will attempt to work around it.

Re: Unable to get the selected value from a drop-down form field.

Thank you Alex.

I tried your code and the Value property of the form-field is null so I can't call GetString() off of it. I can call GetValueText(), but it is blank.

Any other ideas, or am I doing something wrong?

Also we are using version 6.0.319.0.

Thank you,
Stephen

At first I misunderstood... but using the JavaScript to set the value rather than using the SetValueText method does seem to fire off the JavaScript I expect.

How do I exit edit mode programatically?

I can't tell all of our users (15,000+ across the country) that they have to click somewhere else before moving a page.

I would expect that clicking the page in the thumbnail panel would end edit mode since it is selecting the page.
