I was able to get it working by using SetElement and setting the currentText
retreived from the widget. Then I called UpdateProperty on the first
combobox. Next I called UpdatePropertyInformation on the second combobox.
For the order issue, I just ended up renaming them so they followed the
order I needed.
Thanks,
