Hi all,
I am using the standard System.Windows. Forms.ComboBox controls on a form.
There are 5 or 6 comboboxes and their selection depends on each other. The
comboboxes behave strangely probably because there are two properties called
SelectedIndex and selectedIndex. Both usually have different values. Has
anyone experienced any problems using comboboxes?
Thanks.

Hi,
AFAIK there is one SelectedIndex which return the index of the item selected
and SelectedItem that return the item itself
How are the controls behaving?
Cheers,

Hi,
It is hard to explain all the problems. But for example, when I want to
clear the selection, I try to set the SelectedIndex property to -1. But it
stays at 0. I also tried to set it to -1 twice. But it does not change
to -1. In the locals window each combobox shows two properties -
SelectedIndex and selectedIndex and these property almost always have
different values. I just need to be able to clear the selection and fire the
SelectedIndexCh anged event upon clearing the selection. Now I have managed
to successfully clearing the selection by seting null to SelectedItem
instead of seting SelectedIndex to -1. But when the DropDownStyle is
DropDownList, it throws an exception.
Thanks.

Hi,
Can you post some code?
I find very weird what you describe, You may see two SelectedIndex if you
use the watch windows, one may be the property, other may be the internal
variable, or maybe the inherited value. but anyway they all must have the
SAME value.
Cheers,

I have a combobox of dropdownlist style as one of the controls on a
tabbed form.
The list is populated by setting the DataSource property to a dataset
and then the DisplayMember and ValueMember properties are set to the
names of 2 of the fields in the dataset.
I noticed that when the form displays, the combobox defaults to the
first item in the list, not to blank (selectedindex=-1) as I would
have expected. I can use the...

Hello - this started out as a minor annoyance - and now is
starting to bother me more and more - I'm hoping someone
can help me.
I would like to have a combobox display - NOT initially be
blank - but contain a value. However the value is just
for user reference - not really one of the combobox
choices. For example intially the combobox should equal
the word Select - and the item values can be
say 'one', 'two', and 'three'.

Mybase.Text do not change. If you use the mouse and actually click on

This line of code had been working with out issue, now its throwing
errors.
In my case I have three items in the ComboBox. If I try to change the
selected index it throw the error.
Earler in the code I check to see if the combobox has any items, if so
then I set it to 0 with out issue.
Then a bit later in the code I try to set it to the last server used.

I'm struggling with combobox databinding with something I consider a bug...
I'm binding my combobox to an array of structs. The struct exposes two
