How to set the Value of a value list?
posted

I am using the UltraGrid. I have a column that has a style type of dropdown list. That list has a valuelist that is tied to ultra drop down. I can get everything to come up ok. But I run into an issue when another column sets that value. How do I set that dropdownlist for that column in the grid so it shows the text of the dropdown and the not the key.  I started out set .Value and that did not work.

    Hi,

    I'm not sure I understand your question.

    IF you have a ValueList attached to a grid column (or cell), then Value of the grid cell is matched up to the DataValue of one of the items on the list.

    So, for example, if you have a ValueList like this:

    DataValue     DisplayText

    1                     "Apple"

    2                     "Banana"

    3                     "Cherry"

     

    To "select" an item from the ValueList in code, you would set the Value property of the cell to 1, 2, or 3.
