SP01? How to make combo box display description

[Former Member]

I have added a combo box to an SAP form (139 - sales order) and have set its valid values. Once the value is selected the value is what displays, not the description. There doesn't seem to be a property to set that will cause the description to display instead of the value.

Version is 2005a sp01

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

use the base items "DisplayDesc" property... Set it to true and it should work

Thanks. I forgot to look for this property on the base item since it seemed it would only be specific to objects like a combo box.

Yes I know... Either it's caused by some previous bad design plans or DisplayDesc will get more functionality later to future controls
