Hi worner,

I am facing the same situation my self. If you have a combo with a valuemember = 1 and a displaymember = "Money", when you type "1" into the combo Money is selected and this is not the way i want it to work. I only want the combo to select the Displaymembers when i type in the combo.

What i did to get around this was to set the displaymember as the valuemember .i.e., it has both roles. So now when i type "1" in the combo "Money" does NOT come up.

What is means how eva is that if u want the ID of the selected row you can't just say Combo.value, you have to  say Combo.SelectedRow.Cell[0].value.

it's a work around,  but it seems to work. Hopefully the infragistics team will be able to give us a better solution

There's no way to stop the event from firing in just that case.

How to prevent row selecting when you type text like ValueMember or DisplayMember?

Please help

Thanks for reply Mike

now i little  modify my code:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
  {
  base.OnLoad(e);
  // ->

  DataTable dt = new DataTable("dt");
  dt.Columns.Add("id", typeof(int));
  dt.Columns.Add("name", typeof(string));
  dt.Rows.Add(new object[] { 0, "sfd" });
  dt.Rows.Add(new object[] { 1, "abc" });

  ultraCombo1.DataSource = dt;
  ultraCombo1.ValueMember = "id";
  ultraCombo1.DisplayMember = "name";
  ultraCombo1.AutoCompleteMode = Infragistics.Win.AutoCompleteMode.None;
  ultraCombo1.RowSelected += new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.RowSelectedEventHandler(ultraCombo1_RowSelected);
  }

  void ultraCombo1_RowSelected(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.RowSelectedEventArgs e)
  {
  // Event is Fired!
  }

when i type "abc" RowSelected also fired.

Now is any way to avoid row auto select by typing value that equal to display member or value member? May be i should use reflection or override some protected method?
