Clear selection once selected

[Andy Johnson]

Hi,
I would like to know if there is an easy way to clear the selection once it is selected (I am using it as a Dropdown.. i.e. single selection only) and my ComboBox is bound to a list of collection..

This is my Xaml

<syncfusion:ComboBoxAdv x:Name="FirstInvestor" Margin="10,0,0,10"
                                                               Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0"
                                                               ItemsSource="{Binding Investors, Mode=TwoWay, NotifyOnValidationError=True, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}"
                                                               Validation.Error="Validation_Error"
                                                               SelectedItem="{Binding Investment.FirstInvestor, Mode=TwoWay, NotifyOnValidationError=True, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}"
                                                               DisplayMemberPath="FullName" MaxWidth="400" 
                                                               SelectionChanged="FirstInvestor_OnSelectionChanged"
                                                               />

Hi Andy, 

 

Thank you for using Syncfusion products. 

 

We have used the given code snippet with the list collection in our sample, but we were not clear about your requirement. Can you brief about your requirement of clearing the selection of SelectedItems and the property bound to SelectedItem?  

 

Please provide us the information, so that we can work on it to provide you a solution. 

 

Regards,

Ok,I have created a solution to re-create the issue I have.. Please run the project and you will see two choices "Andy" and "Johnson". Once you select any of the choices, there is no way for us to clear the selection in case of non-required fields if I decide to not fill-in that field.ThanksAndyAttachment: ComboBoxAdv_9aea0a77.zip

Hi Andy, 

 

Thank you for your update. 

 

We can clear the SelectedItem as per your requirement by setting the SelectedItem binding property to null. We have prepared sample for this and it is available below.

Please let us know whether this solution works.

Vinothini,
I run the sample code you provided and figured that is only the solution to provide a clear button to clear the selection..
But if you run your code and do the following steps:

1. Select any name from the list
2. Clear name using a button
3. Try to select the name again.

Here there seems to be a bug where newly selected item is not being displayed. Can you please help me with this?

Thanks
