We've implemented custom alpha paging (ie A, B...Z) on a WebCombo control that's been placed inside of a Webgrid column.    However, there is an issue with the following workflow:

1) User adds a new row and for the webcombo cell chooses a value beginning with A (ie paging on A)
2) User adds a second row and for the webcombo cell chooses a value beginning with B (ie paging on B)
3) User returns to the first row created in step 1 and attempts to edit the webcombo cell

At step 3, when the user clicks the Webcombo cell, the DropDown is still displaying the paging info from step 2 (ie 'B') even though the cell we clicked had a value beginning with 'A' in this column.   As well, the webcombo clears this value probably because it can't match the 'A' cell value with the paged items being displayed.

Given this issue, is there a way to accomplish either of the following:

1) When there is an existing value in the Webcombo cell, always default the current paging info to match the exisitng value rather than using the previously selected page (ie cell has text 'Apple' and when the webcombo cell is clicked, the paging will be for A).

2) Prevent the Webcombo from clearing the current cell value when it is opened, even if the cell value doesn't match the last paging value

Thanks in advance
