Unicode again, this time comboboxes

Ok,

getting a step further with this. This does work, but is rather ugly:

To Read out a current label of the comboBox:

on mouseUp
   lock screen
   local tProps,tSelection
   select the text of btn "Combo"
   focus on btn "Combo"
   answer the selection
   put the unicodeText of the selection into tProps
   set the unicodeText of fld "Test" to tProps
   unlock screen
end mouseUp

I have no idea why this works. I have no idea why setting the focus is necessary. Without the focus, it might break every once in a while.
It works for both ANSII and UTF16 inputs. It works for mixed inputs. Just totally puzzled as to the why...

Now trying to set stuff by script.

Cheers,

Malte
