On 1st selection, selected item value doesn't appear

[Pinho]

Hi all,

 I'm building a ComboBox extension (based on RadComboBox v3) that will allow users to set the content of the combo box with all the items of a enumeration (any enumeration).

 All is fine, except in one detail, after the 1st selection, the value appears empty (text field in the combobox).

If I use windows combo box this works correctly.

I'm sending you a solution with just the code used to demonstrate this. Could you please tell if there's a workaround for this?

Thanks ahead for all the help,

L. Pinho

Hi guys,

I tested the application, the problem is different than the one Henrik described in the other thread. I guess it is related to the code of the inherited combo, but I didn't debugged that much to find the real problem. I just blogged about displaying enum values in a combo box, my approach is a lot simpler, I hope it helps:
