anyone know how I can get the value of another column in my combo box besides the value member? Furthermore, I am setting the datasource and value member on form load so that there isn't an activerow or selectedrow property available. Is there another property that will reference my row?
i.e. MyCombo.RowThatTheCurrentValueMemberIsOn.Cells(1).value?
What you should do is cast the UltraCombo into an IValueList. Then you can use the GetText method and pass in the current Value of the control. This method has an 'out' param that will give you the index of the row that was found (or -1 if no row was found). Once you have the index of the row, it's easy:
combo.Rows[index].Cells[1].Value
