Hi,
I have a combobox that when I set the SelectedIndex to -1
it sets to 0.
The combobox Items property says there is 20 items in it.
Anyone know why this could be please?

Hi,
I have a combobox that when I set the SelectedIndex to -1
it sets to 0.
When you do that, it should set the cbo.text to blank with no entry selected
in the dropdown list.

Yeah, ok that's correct. What's the problem?

What's the problem? You're doing things correctly if you don't want the
first enter in the dropdown list to be displayed with the cbo.Text being
blank or null string.
Because the 0 item is a valid item its the frist item inthe list.
I want nothing selected when I set to -1

Do you have DataBindings or other pieces of code that may change the SelectedIndex? Setting SelectedIndex to -1 will clear the selection (unless it is a dropdown and the user has written new text). If the SelectedIndex ends up as 0 something else is setting it. It would help if you could show us the code.

Happy coding!

no, no databindings
How can I tell what has set it to 0?
When i debug this I see that the selectedindex has a value say 5
then I try to set to -1 and then it is 0.
Seems to a bug in my code somehow i suppose.
My app reads a xml file and abstracts creatng a data form
from this.
What code would be helpful to see? i could give the project source
i guess, only a few files.

You got code in the SelectedIndexCh anged event, which is going to firer
every time you manipulate the cbobox, like load it or SelectedIndex -1 is
going to make the event firer and execute code? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I want to set the value in the combo box so that it displays no text in the
visible portion and it returns a value of -1 for SelectedIndex. I have been
using:
ComboBoxName.SelectedIndex = -1
But this does not always work (sometimes, the selected index after executing
this line of code is actually 0 and therefore, of course, the first item in
the list is displayed.

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.
