Hello David,

The following code can be used to pre-select an item: 

<telerik:RadMultiColumnComboBox runat="server" ID="RadMultiColumnComboBox1" DataTextField="text" DataValueField="value">
    <Items>
        <telerik:MultiColumnComboBoxItem Text="Item 1" Value="1"></telerik:MultiColumnComboBoxItem>
        <telerik:MultiColumnComboBoxItem Text="Item 2" Value="2"></telerik:MultiColumnComboBoxItem>
        <telerik:MultiColumnComboBoxItem Text="Item 3" Value="3"></telerik:MultiColumnComboBoxItem>
        <telerik:MultiColumnComboBoxItem Text="Item 4" Value="4"></telerik:MultiColumnComboBoxItem>
    </Items>
</telerik:RadMultiColumnComboBox>

using System.Linq;

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        RadMultiColumnComboBox1.Index = RadMultiColumnComboBox1.Items.ToList()
                                        .IndexOf(RadMultiColumnComboBox1.Items.FindChildByValue("3"));
    }
}
