TopMostItem and enumeration population...

I'm filling a comboboxedit based on an enumeration and using the TopMostItem property... however whenI run my app... the topmost item doesnt appear in my comboboxedit by default.



I've tried setting the selectedvalue to -1 in both the Load and Shown events of the form and tried to set it to -1 on a click event... still no luck.



Any thoughts?

Do you get the same behavior with the StrataFrame combo?

Yes.

THen you must not be setting the TopMostItem properly.  How are you setting this?  You just need to provide a description and a value.  This will only work if you are using an automated population property like the Enumeration.

Here's a screenshot of it's properties. Sorry for the large size... I wanted  you to be able to read it.

I didn't think I was doing anything out of the ordinary.

Give this sample a try Smile

Ok, I FINALLY figured it out... I was trying to set the SelectedValue property to -1 INSTEAD of setting the SelectedIndex property to 0! (0 because I am using the DevExpress wrapped ComboBoxEdit) I HATE it when I make those STUPID mistakes. They are SO frustrating.

Thanks for your help. Wink
