RadGrid - RadComboBox selected value

[Richard]

I have a RadComboBox embedded on the 'EditFormSettings - FormTemplate' When the user clicks the 'Edit' on the row of information in the data-grid, I would like the RadComboBox to select the existing 'State' that is already selected for the user.  I have text-boxes on the same location and I pre-set the values using:  Text='<%# Bind("strFirstName") %>'  How can I do the same thing for the RadComboBox?

Thanks!

Hello Richard,

You can set the selected value either from aspx or from code behind.
aspx:

<EditItemTemplate>

     <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadCombobox1" runat="server"  AutoPostBack="true" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
               DataTextField="ShipName" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("OrderID") %>'>

    </telerik:RadComboBox>

</EditItemTemplate>

If you are populating the combobox from code behind, then try the following.
Code behind:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

   {

       if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)//the grid is about to Edit.


       {

           GridEditFormItem item = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;

           RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)item.FindControl("RadCombobox1");

           combo.DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"

           combo.DataTextField="ShipName";

           combo.DataValueField="OrderID";

           TextBox txt=(TextBox)item["OrderID"].Controls[0];

           combo.SelectedValue = txt.Text;

       }

If you have set LoadOnDemand property to the combobox then try the following approach in the following code library.
Load On Demand RadComboBox inside an EditItemTemplate of RadGrid.

Thanks,
