The size and font size of DropdownDataWindows are determined by the size of the deployed DataWindow; the width of DropdownDataWindows, if set to be smaller than the column width, will be displayed in the same width as the column.

When executing Modify function to change the dddw.property in the mobile application:

1) the value variable must be contained in single quotation marks. For example,

Unsupported code:

dw_1.Modify(""emp_id.dddw.name= dw_dddw_dropdown"")

Supported code:

dw_1.Modify(""emp_id.dddw.name= 'dw_dddw_dropdown'"")

2) properties must be separated with spaces when they are concatenated into one value. For example,

Unsupported code:

dw_1.Modify = "emp_id.BackGround.Color=" + String(RGB(192,192,192)) + "emp_id.Protect=1"

Supported code:

dw_1.Modify = "emp_id.BackGround.Color=" + String(RGB(192,192,192)) + " emp_id.Protect=1"
