Combo Box List

[dashen]

I am trying to programatically select an item in a combo box list and select only one item in the list. I tried to use the SelectIndexChange event, but it seems to do nothing. I can use radiobuttonlist as well, but neither one seems to be doing what I want it to. Is there any way around this? Can anyone give me a suggestion taht will work and be formulaic because I am trying to use many of them radiobuttonlists or comboxlists? Thanks.

    Protected Sub cblAssessType_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cblAssessType.SelectedIndexChanged
        Dim temp As String
        temp = cblAssessType.SelectedValue
        cblAssessType.ClearSelection()
        cblAssessType.SelectedValue = temp
    End Sub

Why are you trying to set the selected value of the same control?

Try this instead:

myControlName.Items.FindByValue(myValue).Selected = True

Because more than one can be selected. If for instance the value actually selected is one later.

Also, SelectedIndexChange doesn't seem to be run when I select something. I used breakpoints, and nothing.

I still don't understand what you are trying to do, but, in order for the event to fire, you need to set AutoPostBack = TRUE on the list box.

make sure mode=multi so you can select multiple options. you then need to loop through the list and set selected = true for each item you want to pre-select.

also remember to hold the ctrl/shift key when selecting multiple items.

I'm confused. Your initial post said:

... and select only one item in the list
