Dynamic GenericDropDown

[Kathy Gray]

I have a genericdropdown control on a page, but I want to put the controls in during the code behind. But, when I do it using the below code, The button that shows the list doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something?

Dim ThisTable As New Table
ThisTable.Style.Value = "border-style:solid; border-color:#7C6F57; border-width:thin; background: #FFFFFF;"
Dim ThisRow As TableRow
Dim ThisCell As TableCell
Dim ThisButton As LinkButton
For Each item As String In Choices
ThisRow = New TableRow
ThisCell = New TableCell
ThisButton = New LinkButton
ThisButton.CssClass = "gdd"
ThisButton.Text = item
ThisButton.OnClientClick = Me.FixedInputDropDown.ClientObjectId & ".SetText('" & item & "');" & Me.FixedInputDropDown.ClientObjectId & ".HidePopup(); return false;"
ThisCell.Controls.Add(ThisButton)
ThisRow.Cells.Add(ThisCell)
ThisTable.Rows.Add(ThisRow)
Next

'Here is where I add it to the GenericDropDown Me.FixedInputDropDown.PopupControls.Add(ThisTable)
