GetEdgeCurrentSlice API does not work

Question

Hi
I am trying to use the dataAccess.getEdgeCurrentSlice API to get the current selected value of a drop down box in the Page Item. However, every time when I pressed the "Go" button, the return value of the getEdgeCurrentSlice API does not return the current selected value but instead it display the previous value of the drop down box.
For example: The first time I selected the 3rd element in the drop down list and pressed "Go", the return value is 0 and the second time I selected the 4th element of the drop down list and pressed "Go", it returned 3 and the third time when I selected the 2nd element and pressed "Go", it returned 4.
I am not sure if this API is returning the current slice value or it returns the previous slice value.
Thanks
Byron

Try using this code sample:
String pgDim, pgDimMbr;
int pgLayerCount = DataAccess.getLayerCount(DataDirector.PAGE_EDGE);
int pgCurrSlice =
DataAccess.getEdgeCurrentSlice(DataDirector.PAGE_EDGE);
for (int i = 0; i++; i < pgLayerCount)
pgDim =
(String)DataAccess.getLayerMetadata(DataDirector.PAGE_EDGE, i,
LayerMetadataMap.LAYER_METADATA_NAME);
pgDimMbr =
(String)DataAccess.getMemberMetadata(DataDirector.PAGE_EDGE, i,
pgCurrSlice, METADATA_VALUE);
