Find Value

[diego]

Hi all,

If I have a combo bound to as datasource, how can I search for a
particular value. example i have the value 1,2,3,4 in col1 and A, B, C,
D in col 2 of a datatablem and this datatable is bound to a combo box.
how can i search for the value C so that if found the combobox
automatically sets C as the selected item.

I hope I got my point across.

Thanks in advance.

Diego,

Use as datasource a dataview
Than find in that dataview the position and set the index accoording to
that.
(if you use a currencymanager the position from that)

The text on this page is wrong, it has to be find an index.
The datarowcollection find finds a row.

I hope this helps,

Cor
