ASPxListEdit.SelectedIndex Property

Specifies the selected list item’s index.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

[DefaultValue(-1)]
public int SelectedIndex { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
Int32 -1

The zero-based index of the selected list item. -1 if no item is selected within the list editor.

Remarks

Use the SelectedIndex property to move selection within the list editor. You can also change the selected item via the ASPxListEdit.SelectedItem property.

Handle the ASPxListEdit.SelectedIndexChanged event to respond to the selection being changed within the list editor.

If you bind (populate the Item collection) at runtime, make sure that you perform this operation during each round trip to the server in the control’s Init or Page_Init event. Otherwise, the SelectedIndex property may return -1.

protected void ASPxListBoxInstance_Init(object sender, EventArgs e) {  
    DevExpress.Web.ASPxEditors.ASPxListBox cmb = (DevExpress.Web.ASPxEditors.ASPxListBox)sender;  
    cmb.DataSource = DATA_SOURCE;  
    cmb.DataBindItems();  
}

Example

This example demonstrates how the ASPxSpinEdit‘s decimal separator is automatically changed upon selecting a culture.

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Culture: " AssociatedControlID="ASPxRadioButtonList1"/>
<dx:ASPxRadioButtonList ID="ASPxRadioButtonList1" runat="server" SelectedIndex="0">
    <Items>
        <dx:ListEditItem Text="English (USA)" Value="en-US" />
        <dx:ListEditItem Text="Italian" Value="it-IT" />
    </Items>
    <ClientSideEvents SelectedIndexChanged="function(s, e) {
        document.location.href = "?culture=" + s.GetSelectedItem().value;
        }" />
</dx:ASPxRadioButtonList>
<dx:ASPxSpinEdit ID="ASPxSpinEdit1" runat="server" Number="0.1" />
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    ASPxRadioButtonList1.SelectedIndex = GetCulture() == "en-US" ? 0 : 1;
}
protected override void InitializeCulture() {
    base.InitializeCulture();
    CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo(GetCulture(), true);
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci;
}
private string GetCulture() {
    string culture = "en-US";
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Page.Request.Params["culture"]))
        culture = Page.Request.Params["culture"];
    int comma = culture.IndexOf(",");
    if (comma != -1)
        culture = culture.Remove(comma);
    return culture;
}
