I'm not sure I understand the problem. If you set the Value of the Combo, this will also set the Text and the SelectedRow.  

Hi Mike

Thank You for the prompt response

.Text doesn't really work, it only displays the text value but I want the whole row.  Here is a code snippet.

i bind my control like this

initialize(Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraCombo cboCtrl,...)

{...

cboCtrl.DataSource = oDataset.Tables[0];
cboCtrl.DisplayMember = sDisplayColumn;
cboCtrl.ValueMember = sValueMember;
cboCtrl.AutoEdit = true;

...}

after form is initialized I want to be able to click on a button, say "View", and be able to see the value in cboCtrl ( say 6 columns )

so I do the following

Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridRow row = (Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridRow)cboCtrl.SelectedRow;

but unless user specifically clicks on ultraCombo I keep getting an exception.

Please Help

Regards
