I have a WinDropDown control (which appears to be a specialized UltraGrid control) that is databound to a BindingList<ObjectDetails> collection.
It is my impression that if I want to take action when a user selects an item from the collection, I need to handle the RowSelectedEventHandler.
The question I have is, once in that handler, how do I get the ObjectDetail object that was selected?

Ok, I have had some more time to look over both of those poses and they simply don't make sense to me. In the first one you said:
"If you just want a single dropdown list without multiple columns, then you should not use an UltraDropDown,but rather use a ValueList."
I don't see a ValueList control anywhere, for that matter, the only control I see that starts with a V is the UltraValidator.
And with regards to the second link, I don't have a clue as to what the OP is asking so your response is of no value to me, makes me feel like I am on Jeopardy :)
I took a few minutes and created the attach project that has both the UltraCombo which is databound and the MS ComboBox. I implemented the SelectedIndexChanged on the MS ComboBox to deminstrate exactly what I need to do. I am hoping that you all can add to the project to make your UltraDropDown work the same way or replace it with the ValueList and implement that for me so I have a live example to look at!
I figured out the issue, I was using the wrong control. I had been using the UltraCombo when I should have been using the UltraComboEditor.
The BindableValueList is in Infragistics.Win. That assembly has a dependency on Infragistics.Shared, so you will need both.
I need to put BindableValueList into an assembly that does not currently have any of your controls, which assembly do I need to reference?
Hi Sam,
All you need to do is get the Value property of the control, then.
Oops, I responded too quickly before I realized you are binding to a list of objects.
You have two options here. One of them is described here:

The other option is described here:

You are correct, I am using the UltraCombo. How do I go about getting the selected object from it? In mikrokom's example (which I am assuming does not apply because this is an UltraCombo, not the WinDropDown) he assumed that the object was holding a string. It isn't, it is holding an object called "Class Details", so it is like this:
List<ClassDetails> listToDisplay = GetClassDetailsList();ultraComboCtrl.DataSource = listToDisplay;
The goal is once a user selects a row, to get back the ClassDetail that was selected.
