How do I set the selected item in a comboBox to match my string using C#?
I have a string "test1" and my comboBox contains test1
, test2
, and test3
. How do I set the selected item to "test1"? That is, how do I match my string to one of the comboBox items?
I was thinking of the line below, but this doesn't work.
comboBox1.SelectedText = "test1";
This should do the trick:
Combox1.SelectedIndex = Combox1.FindStringExact("test1")
Have you tried the Text property? It works for me.
ComboBox1.Text = "test1";
The SelectedText property is for the selected portion of the editable text in the textbox part of the combo box.
