Get selected entity from list box

[Manolo]

Hi,

I fill a list box with SelectMethod, and when the user click on process, I need the selected Item from ListBox, but I don't know how get this class:

The Items collections are empty, but the items are showed, selectedIndices always return 0, only SelectedItemIndex works, but I don't want the index, I want the entity or the value field.

I've a similar problem with the dropdownlist

Also, the visualization is wrong

I attach a similar project for test

Hi Monolo,

Use the following code to resolve this issue:-

private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   // Get the currently selected item in the ListBox.
   string curItem = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();

   // Find the string in ListBox2.
   int index = listBox2.FindString(curItem);
   // If the item was not found in ListBox 2 display a message box, otherwise select it in ListBox2.
   if(index == -1)
      MessageBox.Show("Item is not available in ListBox2");
   else
      listBox2.SetSelected(index,true);
}

this listbox don't have the property SelectedItem.

This is the problem.

And.... what about the visualization?  Why  when I select the second or third items, the text are moved?

Hi Monolo,
We have analyzed your requirement “to get the selectedItems in the listbox” can be achieved by using following code snippet to your application.

 protected void butn_Click(object Sender, Syncfusion.JavaScript.Web.ButtonEventArgs e)

        {

            //to assign the selected items in the listbox controls

            int selectItemIndex = ListBox1.SelectedItemIndex;

            Item selectedItem;;

            if (selectItemIndex == -1)

                selectedItem = null;

            else

              selectedItem = GetItems().ElementAt(selectItemIndex); // to get the element based on our selected index

            //get the text from the selected element if its not means return the message

             var selectedText = selectedItem!=null? selectedItem.Name:"Item is not available in ListBox2";
       }

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. It's a temporal solution.

But I've other question.... in my example, when I select the second or third item, my visualization is wrong, and in your example it works fine, Why?
