ofxUIDropDownList getName() problem

Hi,

I want to save the name of a selected item from a dropdwon list into a string variable.

I'm doing this in the 'guiEvent' method

void ParametersList::guiEvent(ofxUIEventArgs &e){
string name = e.widget->getName();

if(name == "Timestamps")
{
    ofxUIDropDownList *ddlist = (ofxUIDropDownList *) e.widget;
    vector<ofxUIWidget *> &selectedItem = ddlist->getSelected(); 
	for(int i = 0; i < selectedItem.size(); i++){
		cout << "TIMESTAMP SELECTED: " << selectedItem[i]->getName() << endl; 
		timestampSelected = selectedItem[i]->getName();
	}
}

}

However, when i do "timestampSelected = selectedItem[i]->getName();" the program breaks with the following message:
"Unhandled exception at 0x5C76EB90 (msvcr110d.dll) in editorGUI_Test_debug.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0xCCCCCCCC."

Btw, 'timestampSeçected' is a string variable from the class 'ParamtersList' itself.

I can see that the 'guiEvent' method is somehow blind to the rest of the class objects.
How can I do this in a proper way?

Thanks in advance!
