Get DataFormComboBoxField selected item?

[Austin]

Is there a way to get a DataFormComboBoxFields currently selected item?

Hello Austin,

The currently selected item in a regular case should be reflected in the bound property of your business object.
For example if you have a combo field for choosing countries e.g. bound to the CountryID property of your business object ( DataMemberBinding = {Binding CountryID} ), then you can read the property( CountryID) itself.

In case you have more complicated scenario , please give some more details so we can think of some solution .

This certainly helped me, but I have another related issue.

If I take the DataMemberBinding value (In your example CountryID, which is also the DataFormComboBoxField's SelectedValuePath) and change it, I expect to see the ComboBox change it's selection. This is what occurs when I edit the bound value through the DataForm, and all is good - but if I manually change the CountryID value through the code behind, I see no changes in the DataForm on either the ComboBox or the CountryID field. Naively I attempted to DataForm.UpdateLayout, but I'm obviously missing something here, as no matter what I seem to do in the code behind I can't get the DataForm to recognize the new CountryID value.

Any suggestions?

Edit: I've corrected this issue myself through INotifyPropertyChanged
