Hi, I took a look at the solution below, unfortunately the above solution doesn't work because if the model in getTextValue( ) method is set (for the containing panel or any component for that matter) the *last* choice is selected and set as a model instead of the right one. It works only when there is only one selection in the drop down list. Any ideas would be appreciable.
