UltraCombo turns blank if set to DropDownList
posted

I have a multi-column drop down showing employees in a client form. The ValueMember (and primary key) is ProducerName. Drop down shows Producer Name and Type, and hides everything else.

In DropDown mode, this works great. In DropDownList it appears blank. The user can choose a value and it saves to the mdb, but is always blank when it returns. I set Display Member too. Nothing helps. Always saves ok, but always appears blank.

I have a seperate FYE combo on same form with only 1 field in the table, and it works ok. I have three other combos similar to above and none of them work either.

If I use DropDown, I have to manually validate, which I am trying to avoid.

Ideas?

Thanks! Matt

    Hello rickw1221,

    The DropDownList UltraCombo accepts only values which are on the list. So when the list populates again and the current value in the control is not in it, the list becomes blank.

    If this does not help, this is not the case or if you feel that I misunderstood you please let me know.
