Select programmaticaly

[Tajes]

Hello,

Does anyone know how can I set the selected Item programmaticaly? 
If I have the object that I want to select, how can I set it like selected item in the MultiColumnCombo?
I tried to set multiColumnCombo.selectedItem = myObject but it doesn't work.

Thanks.

Hello,

You should be able to use SelectedValue. e.g.

Me.RadmultiColumnComboBox.SelectedValue = value

Let me know if you need more information

Hello Richard, It doesn't work. It doesn't throw any exception but after change selectedValue It doesn't occur anything. To make it works
      I set selectedIndex, using the bindingsource.indexOf(myObject). The bindingSource is the dataSource of the MulticolumnComboBox.

Thank you anyway.

Hi,

What version of the software are you using? I'm using the latest Q3 version for reference.
Hoever, you can always loop through the records instead. For exmaple

For Each row As GridViewRowInfo In Me.RadmultiColumnCombo.EditorControl.Rows
    If row.Cells(0).Value.ToString() = value Then
        row.IsCurrent = True
        row.IsSelected = True
        Me.ComboVatRates.Text = row.Cells(1).Value.ToString()
    End If
Next

hope that helps
Richard

I'm also having a problem:

When my form loads radMultiColumnComboBoxItemType.SelectedValue = null. Which is fine.

But if in the code if say:
radMultiColumnComboBoxItemType.SelectedValue = 3

The selected value still = null. I have other controls where setting the SelectedValue works fine - but here it seems to do nothing.
Any suggestions?
