Hi

 

I have been using a CheckedDropDownList in an application and I want to check some of the values in the dropdownlist before the users sees it. I have tried several things in order to get it work and so far nothing. It should b a simple thing i just don't know..

 

so far i have tried

 

 List<string> dbValues = _asset.MultiLocDrawingNum;

                    foreach (var v in dbValues)
                    {
                        var item = ddData.Items.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Text == v);

                        item.Selected = true;

                        ddData.Items.Add(item);

                        //ddData.SelectedItem = item;

                        //ddData.SelectedIndex = ddData.FindString(item.Text);
                    
                    
                    }

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for contacting us. 

The Checked property indicates whether the item is checked. You need to set the property to true to show the items. Here is the code snippet how you can achieve it: 
private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    List<string> dbValues = new List<string>();
    dbValues.Add("Cafe mocha");
    dbValues.Add("Americano");
 
    foreach (var v in dbValues)
    {
        RadCheckedListDataItem item = this.radCheckedDropDownList1.Items.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Text == v) as RadCheckedListDataItem;
        item.Checked = true;              
    }
}

Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.

Regards,

Thank you, this was exactly what i needed, i tried getting access to the checked attribute with no luck. However i was using the wrong class and i wasn't aware that there was another one so this is great!

 

Many thanks.

Hello Yofeisi,

Thank you for contacting us. 

If your application Net 2.0, you can not use FirstOrDefault. Please refer to the code snippet below how you can change the code: 
private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    List<string> dbValues = new List<string>();
    dbValues.Add("Cafe mocha");
    dbValues.Add("Americano");
 
    //foreach (var v in dbValues)
    //{
    //    RadCheckedListDataItem item = this.radCheckedDropDownList1.Items.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Text == v) as RadCheckedListDataItem;
    //    item.Checked = true;
    //}
 
    foreach (var text in dbValues)
    {
        foreach (RadCheckedListDataItem item in this.radCheckedDropDownList1.Items)
        {
            if (item.Text == text)
            {
                item.Checked = true;
            }
        }
    }
}

Let me know if I can assist you further.
