HI 

i am using infragistics V8.3 and m stuck with the problem regarding dropdown menu showing value of the hidden field.

1. whats actually happening is i am returning a datatable from the database and bind it to the web combo box

2. then in "Initialise_layout " i make the first column hidden.

3. but when i click on it after runnin the web site it shows the hidden value.

here's the code so far

at page load:

        WebCombo2.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];

        WebCombo2.DataMember = "StageID";

        WebCombo2.DataValue = "StageName";

        WebCombo2.DataBind();

at initialise layout:

        e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns[0].Hidden = true;
