We are porting an application from Infra 6.3 to 8.2

The following code snippet illustrates a problem we are having with the UltraComboEditor.

When run under 6.3, the editor displays text="Howdy"; under 8.2 text is blank. If the first item in the list is not blank, then it works fine under both releases.

I would like it to behave like 6.3. I realize that putting uce.Text="Howdy" after Show() has been called will work, but is not possible in our situation.

Any help/explanation will be appreciated.

Thanks

private void Form1_Load(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
 uce.Items.Add("");
 uce.Items.Add("A");
 uce.Text = "Howdy";
}

{
 Infragistics.Win.Appearance appearance1 = new Infragistics.Win.Appearance();
 this.uce = new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraComboEditor();

 //

 this.uce.Anchor = ((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles)((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Top | System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right)));

 this.uce.Name = "uce";
 this.uce.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(144,17);
 this.uce.TabIndex = 1;
 this.uce.TabStop = false;
 this.uce.UseOsThemes = Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.False;
