Windows Form Combobox Selecteditem

Question

when editing a specific record in a listview row, how do I get that value to the corresponding combobox selected item/value?

The combobox is in dropdownlist style mode, so the selected text wont work.

i tried this:

cbBrand.SelectedItem = lvMain.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[1].ToString();

but i get null in the corresponding combobox selecteditem... :(

Answer 1

I got it working like this:

int xcb;
xcb = this.cbBrand.FindString(lvMain.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[1].Text);
this.cbBrand.SelectedIndex = xcb;

Answer 2

You can use the SelectedValue property.
