updateDisplayList is for updating all visuals including the text in labels. I think I would call itemRendererToIndex in updateDisplayList and modify the text at that time. Actually, I'd probably have a separate label just for the number and modify that.

I implemented IDropInListItemRenderer and got ahold of listData.owner. You are right, itemRendererToIndex(...) will get you the correct index. The trouble now is how do I bind the result of itemRendererToIndex to a label inside the itemRenderer so that it automatically updates when the dataProvider is changed? You mentioned overriding updateDisplayList(), isn't that function related more to updating the styles?
