So, the question is: when do you call the code you have above? To change a
popup trigger label, CtlSetLabel() works. You say the label changes when
you select an item from the associated list. The OS does that for you --
that's the way popup triggers work. If you want to change it to something
else, call CtlSetLabel() again. However, if the user has just selected
something from a list, he/she will expect to see what he selected in the
popup trigger label.
