Hi ,

thanks for your quick reply,

yes, I have looked at the samples before but I didn't find my answer there.

I want the web combo to get value from the database when loading the page. so I want it to have a selected value based on the database.

I know how to get the value from the web combo but I don't know how to set this value.

thx,

It would be great if you send me this function, and I will try it.

Do you think that the client -side code  will resolve your issue if it is true I will provide you a function how to find a given row (cell its value) and select it.

Thanks Redo for your help,

my problem is that I don't know the row number. it changes based on the database table change. all what I know is the value of the row that I want to select.

Hi,

I have tested several ways to select a row form code - behind but it looks like that the combo ignores this approach  for example :

if (!IsPostBack) {

            WebCombo1.DataSource = MakeTable();
            WebCombo1.DataBind();
            WebCombo1.Rows[0].Selected = true;

}

I can suggest you only way to select a row from client -side code like this:

 function SelectRow() {
          
            var combo = igcmbo_getComboById('WebCombo1')
            combo.grid.Rows.rows[1].select(); 
        }

Actually you can get the selected value, row , index and so on... but after user iteration all this is available to you  in code-behind.
