Hi Nikolay,

I have tried using ClientIDMode="Static" like this:

<ig:WebDropDown ID="dropdown" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static">

</ig:WebDropDown>

After this, I tried using $find("dropdown") and also #find("<%=this.dropdown.clientID%>") but both are returing NULL value and not the object.  What may be the issue?

Note: I am using ClientIDMode as "AutoID" in web.config file and I am not looking for a  solution to make ClientIDMode changes in web.config.

Hi Nikolay,

Thanks for the reply.

value0 = wddObject.get_items().getItem(0).get_value(); works if we know the index of the item. My requirement is to retrieve value of selected item and not by index. I can find the index of the selected item and then use the above code snippet but that will be extra calculation for me. Can you please let me know the method  to get the above kind of values like "0901|0" for a selected item.

FYI, I tried using

var value1 = $find("webdropdown").get_currentValue();

but this gives the text of the current item and not the value.

Hi, Sunil Mehta.

The right method for you is not get_currentValue() but get_selectedItemIndex(). To get the value, use:

Thanks Nikolay. We are very near to closure now. Here is another issue.

I have a function that fills a combobox with values based upon the value changed in another combobox control.
The below function does that requirement:

function FillCombobox(Code,strValue) {
var NextCombo;
var appPath;
var getFile;
var countall;
appPath = location.href;
getFile = appPath.split("/");
countall = getFile.length - 1;
appPath = appPath.replace(getFile[countall], "FillSubCombo.aspx");

 if (strValue !='') {
  var oXMLHTTP = new ActiveXObject( "Microsoft.XMLHTTP" );
  var sURL = appPath + '?Code=' + Code + '&Value='  + strValue;
  oXMLHTTP.open( "POST", sURL, false );
  oXMLHTTP.send();
  if(oXMLHTTP.responseText!=''){

  if (document.all.combobox.popup.length > 0)
   { var combolen = document.all.combobox.popup.length;
   for (var j=(combolen - 1); j >= 0 ; j--)
    { document.all.combobox.popup.options[j] = null;
    }
   }
   var opt0 = new Option("","");
   document.all.combobox.popup.options[document.all.combobox.popup.length] = opt0;
   var sXMLReturn=oXMLHTTP.responseText;
   var MList = sXMLReturn.split('^');
   for (var i=0; i < MList.length;i++)
   {
    var SList = MList[i].split('~');
    var opt = new Option(SList[0],SList[1]);
    document.all.combobox.popup.options[document.all.combobox.popup.length] = opt;
   }
   document.all.combobox.popup.item(0).selected = true;
   document.all.combobox.popup.textfield.value = document.all.combobox.popup.item(0).text;
  }
  else
  {
   var opt0 = new Option("","");
   document.all.combobox.popup.length=0;
   document.all.combobox.popup.options[NextCombo.length] = opt0;
   document.all.combobox.popup.item(0).selected = true;
   document.all.combobox.popup.textfield.value = document.all.combobox.popup.item(0).text;
  }
 }
 else
 {
  document.all.combobox.popup.item(0).selected = true;
  document.all.combobox.popup.textfield.value = document.all.combobox.popup.item(0).text;
 }   
}

Currently, the combobox that I am using in my application uses the below code snippet:
document.all.combobox.popup.options
Do we have any property/method in the webdropdown with the same functionality as options? I want to replace
the above lines in Bold with the code snippet for infragistics webdropdown.

Hi, Sunil Mehta.

If it's not a problem for you, please create different forum thread for this issue. It's because the last problem is different from the title and idea of the current forum thread and it such cases is better to separate them.

Thank you

Best regards,

Nikolay

Hi,

Is there a way to set the current display text and value of a webdropdown in the server-side(code behind vb file)?

Thanks,

Sunil Mehta.

Nikolay, Please do the needful for #1, #2 and #5.

Thanks,

Sunil Mehta.
