How to set the WebGrid's DropDownList field's Value?

Hi Shawn,

Since the DropDownList object already embedded in WebGrid's object it would be more efforts to get dropdown list object. I suggest you to use the WebCombo control by using the following code on OnRowSelect client-side event.

function WebGrid1_OnRowSelect(controlId, tblName, rowIndex, rowEl) {
            var WebGrid1 = ISGetObject(controlId);
//            WebGrid1.GetSelectedObject().ToRowObject().GetCells()[2].SetText("Condiments", true);
            return true;
        }

And I for your second problems, I did not replicate on my side. Have you use the latest build?

Thank you and have a nice day.

Regards,
Niven.

What is the proper way to set the WebGrid's DropDownList field's value?

Currently, I am using the following method which uses the field's SetChanges method which allows me to set the text and value:

function WebGrid_SetDropDownListValue(field, text, value) 
{
    try 
    {
        // Set DropDownList's value
        if (field == null) { return; }
        field.SetChanges(text, value);
    }
    catch (ex) { ShowJSException(ex); }
}

This causes a few problems:

1) It will set the text regardless if the VALUE exists in the DropDownList control

2) When binded, the VALUE is displayed instead of the TEXT. If you click the DropDownList control, the text is displayed. For example, if the following DropDownList contains 1/A and 2/B, if the underlying value is set to "B", the "B" is visible in the WebGrid unless the user clicks the control and then "2" is displayed.
