The SelectedIndex property determines which item is selected in a drop-down list. The SelectedIndex is based on a zero-based index, meaning that 0 represents the first C1ComboBoxItem, 1 represents the second C1ComboBoxItem, and so on. In the image below, the SelectedIndex is set to 2, which selects the third C1ComboBoxItem.
To set a selected item, add SelectedIndex="0" to the <c1:C1ComboBoxItem> tag so that the markup resembles the following:
| XAML |
Copy Code
|
<c1:C1ComboBoxItem Content="C1ComboBoxItem1" SelectedIndex="1">
|
Complete the following steps:
- Open the MainWindow.xaml.cs or the MainPage.xaml.cs page (or the MainWindow.xaml.vb page for Visual Basic).
- Add the following code beneath the InitializeComponent() method:
| Visual Basic |
Copy Code
|
C1ComboBoxItem1.SelectedIndex = 1
|
| C# |
Copy Code
|
c1ComboBoxItem1.SelectedIndex = 1;
|
- Run the program.
Complete the following steps:
- Select the C1ComboBox control.
- In the Properties window, set the SelectedIndex property to "1" so that the second C1ComboBoxItem will be selected.
