Combo box drop down doesn't work

[RHutchings]

After restarting LabVIEW, one of my conbo boxes won't open while the vi is running. It works fine in edit mode.

Is it possible that you disabled that control?

Purely guessing since there is no VI attached for us to look at.

I copied it to a new vi and it still doesn't work?

That is because it is an indicator.  The user cannot set values of indicators during runtime.  You probably want it to be a control and update it with a Local Variable if you need to set it.

Now I feel stupid. I don't know how I did that. Thanks
