    Hi there....

    I tried to select value from editor control then pass that to a textbox...
    i'm already tried this from documentation:

        Dim test As String
        test = String.Format("Row changed, current Name = {0}", RadMultiColumnComboBox1.EditorControl.Rows(RadMultiColumnComboBox1.SelectedIndex).Cells("ContactName").Value)
    textbox1.text = test

    that code return me an error like this:

    "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

    What should i do??

    Hi mampus,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    The described code looks OK and it should work when there is a selected item it the control. You should also check whether the cell is empty. I modified your code slightly:
    If Not RadMultiColumnComboBox1.SelectedIndex >= 0 Then
        Dim value As Object = RadMultiColumnComboBox1.EditorControl.Rows(RadMultiColumnComboBox1.SelectedIndex).Cells("ContactName").Value
        If Not value Is Nothing Then
            Dim test As String
            test = String.Format("Row changed, current Name = {0}", value)
            textbox1.text = test
        End If
    End If

    I hope this helps. If the issue continues to appear, please send us your application and we will try to locate it and find a suitable solution.

    I am looking forward to your reply.

    Best wishes,
    Jack
