Hello Matt,

Thanks for replying.
for part1 I am able to choose the first few letters by selection start but for part2 please see my analysis below:

I have tried with  selectionLength = 0 in fuction AfterEnterEditMode but that doesnt work
then later i tried with BeforeEnterEditMode and BeforeExitEditMode but not works.
    

Actually what i want if we select an item in Ultradropdown it should show the text starting from the first letter as happens in case of dropdown list(when we select an item it always show the text starting from the first letter irrespective to the length of the text) but default behaviour of drop down is like it shows the last portion of the text which hides the first portion

.for e.g
Me.Ultracomboeditor1.text = "0001   United States of America"
    in case of ultradropdown it shows the last portion of text depending upon size of control like "States of America" but i want it to show from first portion like "001 United " as happens in case of drop down list.

I am not using dropdownlist because i want combo to be editable.Here i have tried to change the dropdown displaymode to dropdownlist at runtime but it bring the control in unstable state.

Hope now you will get the idea what exactly i am expecting...

Thanks a lot once again for giving time .

Thanks & Regards,

Prabhat,

When I directly set the text of the UltraComboEditor, the text is correctly set to the left for me.  The only time where I had the issue you were describing is when I select a new value from the dropdownlist (as you mentioned above as well).  In order to get around this, I used:

 private void ultraComboEditor1_AfterCloseUp(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.ultraComboEditor1.SelectionStart = 0;
    this.ultraComboEditor1.SelectionLength = 0;
}

If you're having this issue when assigning the Text property, then it's possible that there was a bug fix at some point, so you should ensure that you have the latest hotfix.

Thanks Matt,

Let me explain you briefly actually i am using UltraComboEditor dropdown not dropdownlist.but i want my drop down to show the text starting from the left when selected this doesn't happen when we use dropdown it shows the ending portion
of the text.Please see the attached Image.

I cant use
        this.ultraComboEditor1.SelectionStart = 0;
        this.ultraComboEditor1.SelectionLength = 0;
because i want my combodrop down to be editable  and also  text selected(starting from the first letter) .

Problem To Track : How to make a dropdown to show the text starting from the first portion (WITH WHOLE TEXT SELECTED) here i am not bothered by last portion of the text i want my first portion of text visible as happens in case of dropdownlist(I am not using dropdownlist but i want this behaviour of dropdownlist in my dropdown).

Note: I am not using DropDownList.I am using dropdown so that i can type in to it and it will search coresponding text from list.Matt i have tried to send you image and sample source as attachment  but not able to do so if you require then please give me your email id.

Thanks matt for helping and listening.
