Setting a GUI Pop-up Menu to a given option without doing it manually with the arrow (i.e. in the coding)

I have a test case that will be loaded to the GUI thereby setting all of the GUI edit boxes and most importantly the pop-up menus. My question lies in how to "set" the pop-up menus such that they do not lose there original cell structure.

e.g. Pop-up menu is formatted as: popupmenu = {'Left';'Right';'Down';'Up'} where this pop-up menu is for a direction i.e. when the pop-up menu arrow is clicked these four options appear

Within the test case a parameter is defined as direction = 'Right'

What I desire is that when the case is loaded I want the pop-up menu to be set to what is given in the test case for direction, which in this case is 'Right'

The key is that I don't want to modify the string of the pop-up menu, in other words, after the pop-up menu has changed to 'Left' I want to be able to hit the arrow and still see all four options.

Note the question is not in relation to loading the case; it is in relation to how to set the pop-up menu to the option that corresponds with the direction string.
