Hi Nikola,

To achieve this scenario, you can open the resultbox first so WebCombo will load its value to ResultBox. And then when the value has been loaded, you can set the WebCombo's value from ResultBox. I also made you a simple sample regarding this problem. Could you look for my code and please tell me if there's misconfiguration in my code? Hope it will help you.

There has to be a better way, I mean i have to show the resultbox, open it on the screen and then close it, which for some reason doesn't happen immediately. 

Ok here is what i want to do: I have a combo in which data is loaded on server side in InitializeDataSource event. On client side I have a menu, every menu item has ID. Click on menu item has to cause filter application on my combo according to clicked menuitem's ID. Also, when that happens, I want to select the first row in combo, and get the data from that selected row.

Now, I would like to do that without showing the result box.

Here is my combo:

<iswebcombo:WebCombo ID="cmbGodina" runat="server" AllowWildCardSearch="false" Width="200" 
 Height="20" DataValueField="IdRedaMenu" DropDownRows="1000"
 ViewStateStorage="None" EnableWebResources="Auto" DataTextField="Naziv">
 <LayoutSettings ComboMode="MultipleColumns" EnableAnimation="False" AlwaysShowAllRowsOnDropdown="true" 
 EntryMode="AutoComplete" StatusBoxPosition="Top" StatusBoxVisible="false">
 <ClientSideEvents OnAfterItemSelected="cmbGodina_OnAfterItemSelected" OnShowDropDown="cmbGodina_OnShowDropDown" />
 </LayoutSettings>
 <Columns>
 <iswebcombo:WebComboColumn Name="Naziv" HeaderText="<%$GetString:00_pub_Name%>" BaseFieldName="Naziv" Width="200" />
 <iswebcombo:WebComboColumn Name="IdObrasca" Hidden="true" RenderOnHidden="true" BaseFieldName="IdObrasca" />
 <iswebcombo:WebComboColumn Name="DatumDo" Hidden="true" RenderOnHidden="true" BaseFieldName="DatumDo" />
 <iswebcombo:WebComboColumn Name="XsltFile" Hidden="true" RenderOnHidden="true" BaseFieldName="XsltFile" />
 <iswebcombo:WebComboColumn Name="ProcFile" Hidden="true" RenderOnHidden="true" BaseFieldName="ProcFile" />
 <iswebcombo:WebComboColumn Name="AspxPage" Hidden="true" RenderOnHidden="true" BaseFieldName="AspxPage" />
 </Columns>
 </iswebcombo:WebCombo>

 This intersoft webcombo control has caused me to lose hours and hours of my time, and it is really non intuitive to use. I can do al the complicating stuff like dynamical databinding but i can't do simple stuff like selecting a row.

I dont' think something like that can be so complicated.

Bernard thank you for your effort. I've checked your sample, it is exactly what i need, and it works, but showing the drop down is just not an option here and I'll have to find workaround. But still, thank you.

Hi Nikola,

Glad that the solution that I gave is the one that you wanted. However, I think it must to show the dropdown because it will trigger the WebCombo to show its collection inside ResultBox so we can choose the value in there. After the value has been populated inside WebCombo we can select the value from resultbox. If you have any further question, please don't hesitate to ask us. Hope this helps.

Bernard
