You appear to be using Win32::GUI or something similar?
You need to provide more information about your application for us to
understand your problem, but it may be useful to point out that a dropdown
list will return exactly the information put into it. If you put trailing
spaces into your data then they will be returned intact. Just because there
is space in the list box after the end of the data doesn't mean there are
trailing spaces in the data. Try:
sap => {
'01-17642-200' => '4600004-0001',
'01-17615-700' => '4600003-0001',
'01-17533-410' => '4600970-0001',
'01-17533-408' => '4600971-0001',
'CP1417 ' => '4600971-0001',
},
HTH - that's all I can suggest without more info.
Cheers,
Rob
