Getting currently selected value out of dropdown

Hello Zac,

I have a question about getting current value from a dropdown in the exporter UI. Currently I have a custom drop down which I populate with UTF16 strings. I set it up as follows:

        // Field order
       1) exNewParamInfo ParamName ;
       2) exParamValues ParamValues;
       3) ParamName.structVersion = 1;
       4) safeStrCpy(ParamName.identifier, 256, ADBEVideoFieldType);     //fieldtype is taken as an example from existing code
       5) ParamName.paramType = exParamType_int;
       6) ParamName.flags = exParamFlag_none;
       7) ParamValues.structVersion = 1;
       8) ParamValues.disabled = kPrFalse;
       9) ParamValues.hidden = kPrFalse;
     10) fieldOrderParam.paramValues = ParamValues;

        exportParamSuite->AddParam(    exporterPluginID,
                                        mgroupIndex,
                                        ADBEBasicVideoGroup,
                                        &ParamName);

I'm then able to load my dynamically generated strings into the drop down (during ProstProcessParams) and they are displayed correctly.

Then, during Export I call

exportParamSuite->GetParamValue(exID, 0, ADBEBasicVideoGroup, &ParamValueToBeReturned);

to get current value .

However, I don't get UTF16 string back. My guess is it's happening because the value of this field is UTF16 and not int (as I set up on line 5). I've tried using exParamType_string, but that gives me an editable text field.

So, how do I set up a custom drop down correctly to get current string values from it?

Thanks,

Petro
