Hi Mike,

Why ultraCombo.Value is coming as invalid data? in earlier version dlls if we type invalid data ( If ValueMember does not match ) then Value was coming null. now its coming as typed invalid data... I think, earlier functionality was correct.. combo.Text should come as Typed text and Value should be null because ValueMember did not match.. Do you guys fix this Or this is new feature...?

Thanks

Here is the stack trace of the first time the event ValueChanged is raise:

As you can see, this is not the same stack trace.

I think the reason why the event is raise 2 times instead of one is not a problem in my application; this is a bug in Infragistics. 

Any workaround?

I found a reason where the event is raise 2 times:

Here is a sample code:

Public Class Form1

   Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

      For i As Integer = 0 To 10

         UltraComboEditor1.Items.Add(i, i.ToString)

      Next

      UltraComboEditor1.AutoCompleteMode = Infragistics.Win.AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend

   End Sub

   Private Sub UltraComboEditor1_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UltraComboEditor1.ValueChanged

      MsgBox("ValueChanged")

   End Sub

End Class

If you type the value "1" in the combo, the ValueChanged is raise 2 times.

If you remove the line that set the AutoCompleteMode, the ValueChanged is raise one time.

It's a bug in Infragistics.

Hi,

We are facing the same problem as well. May I know is there any workaround or fixes for this?

Please find my case which I am facing. I have 3 records having same Value but different Text. When I set the AutoCompleteMode to Suggest or SuggestAppend, all related event is being fired two times.

This happened when I entered the character manually in which UltraCombo control will show the filtered list based on the character(s) I entered. And when I use the mouse to click on the row I want, somehow the first Event fired will get the correct row, but the subsequence Event fired after that will have the first row selected.

Example,

My records is as below,

No ID Country

1 Chinese Hong Kong

2 Chinese China

3 Chinese Macau

4 Malay Indonesia

I configured my UltraCombo to take ID as the Value and Country as the Text. As I enter Chinese in the UltraCombo, the filtered list will only show first 3 records. When I click the 3rd record using the mouse, I realised that the first Event fired will take the correct Row which is Chinese (Macau). However, when the second Event fired, it will somehow take the first Row which is the Chinese (Hong Kong)

Please help and wonder is there any workaround for that? As my user want the AutoCompleteMode to be set as "Suggest".

Many thanks and hope to hear from you soonest.

Hi Mike,

We are using Infragistics2.Win.UltraWinGrid.v8.2 (UltraCombo)

I doubt we have apply any service release due to our company deployment policy.

Hence, I wonder is there any workaround I can do to handle this?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

Sorry, I guess I was thinking about UltraComboEditor. There are no such events on UltraCombo.If you don't need multiple columns in your list, you might want to consider using UltraComboEditor, instead of UltraCombo. I don't think this problem occurred in both controls.

Hi Mike,

Can't find any Before/AfterExitEditMode events for UltraCombo. Anyway, thanks a lot for the info.

I don't think there's any way to work around this.

You can try using the Before/AfterExitEditMode events.

There is no event that fires when the user is finished typing, because it's impossible for the control to know when they are "finished". You might be able to make use of the Validating event, which will fire when they try to leave the control.

But personally, I doubt that any of these events will help.

Hi Mike,

Any work around you may think of? I don't think by any chances our company will take the risk to upgrade it to v10.3.

May I know what is the event UltraCombo control fire when it out of the edit mode? Or may I know what is the event fire when user finished entering the text manually in the text box?

Thank you very much.

If the latest service release for 8.2 is not working, then there's nothing we can do. That version is over 3 years old and is no longer being updated.
