ASPxComboBox - How to set selected item?
asp.net, devexpress
Solution
Client-Side Script
Give ClientInstanceName property to comboBoxto access it client side and ID property as cbxJobType to access control server side.
// by text
comboBox.SetText('Text #2');
// by value
comboBox.SetValue('Value #2');
// by index
comboBox.SetSelectedIndex(1);
Server-Side Code
// by text
cbxJobType.Text = "Text #2";
// by value
cbxJobType.Value = "Value #2";
// by index
cbxJobType.SelectedIndex = 1;
This code works fine too:
cbxJobType.SelectedItem = cbxJobType.Items.FindByValue("Value #2");
Problem
I'm using : ASPxComboBox The problem is how to set selectedValue from code behind? If my html is like this: ``` <dxe:ASPxComboBox ID="cbxJobType" runat="server" width="200px" MaxLength="50"> <Items> <dxe:ListEditItem Text="Contract" Value="0" /> <dxe:ListEditItem Text="Full Time" Value="1" /> <dxe:ListEditItem Text="Part Time" Value="2" /> </Items> <ValidationSettings ErrorDisplayMode="ImageWithTooltip"> <RequiredField ErrorText="Required Value" IsRequired="True" /> </ValidationSettings> </dxe:ASPxComboBox> ```
