How do we get the selected value from a combo box using an observable binding?
We noticed that there isn't a method of obtaining the value or selected value. But there is a property for selected items. I see in the example on Ignite UI that they use a view model method to find the actor internally. Is this the only way of getting the selected value?
What if our arrays contain thousands of records? Do we have to loop through all records to find our match?
Thanks Nikolay,
We will work this into our next release.
Hi, Daniel.
You can download the latest service release and see how the functionality, we discussed in this thread, is implemented. If you have some problems or some suggestions or any feedback, I will be glad to discuss it. The topic is not updated yet, but you can just set the "value" property and it should work.
I will wait for your feedback.
Best regards,
Nikolay Alipiev
I just wanted to inform you that the functionality we've discussed in the thread, is implemented. It will be available with the next service release in the coming month. You will be able to wrap the igCombo value as observable. Next month the help will be also updated, and you will be able to find more information in the following topic. You will be updated when the packages are ready for download. Meanwhile if you have some other questions, don't hesitate to ask.
I have investigated this issue, and I have logged this behavior in our internal tracking system with a Development ID of 166340 - allow the igCombo "value" to be observable. It's not implemented for the moment, but we will do it and we will inform you about the progress. If you need more information, don't hesitate to ask us.
Thanks for the patience and for using our product.
