Value Not Populating

Chris

Asked On December 23, 2019 02:19 PM UTC

Hi,

I keep having a problem over multiple versions and I keep reverting back to using the Xamarin picker control. so I'd like to get to the bottom of it.

I'm currently using version 17.3.0.34 and the data populates, the drop down works but when I am modifying a record the value doesn't pre-populate.

Here the XAML I use:

<combobox:SfComboBox x:Name="cmbRegion" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" DataSource="{Binding MovieRegionLookupList}" DisplayMemberPath="RegionName" SelectedValuePath="TableKey" MultiSelectMode="None" SelectedValue="{Binding DataSource.Region}" />

For transparency, I am using prism framework and am collecting the data for the drop down in the constructor.

For every other control I don't have an issue it is literally just the combobox.

Any assistance would be grateful,

Thanks

Chris

A little more information.

I have multiple comboboxes used inside the tab control and across different tab pages.

When deploying to UWP none of the comboboxes load with a value, although when deploying to Android and viewing directly on my phone the first combo box on tab 2 loads perfectly but the others don't.

I hope this might be of use.

Hi Chris,

Greetings from Syncfusion.

Query 1: Modifying a record the value doesn't pre-populate.

We have checked the reported query and we have suspected that the reported issue is about to modified changes on data source of ComboBox is not updated properly. With this case, we have prepared the sample and checked but we were unable to reproduce the same. Tested sample has been updated in below

Sample Link:
https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/ComboBox_Sample1118989914

Please check and if we misunderstood your query, please update us with more details about your reported issue and also ensure the below updated things

1. Did you added the PropertyChanged for ViewModel DataSource’s property which is populated with ComboBox ?

2. Is Pre-populated word about to modify the entire collection of ComboBox or else any adding/removing the few things from existing collection ?

Query 2: The first SfComboBox on tab 2 loads perfectly but the others don't.

We are not clear with your requirement, Can you please provide details for Query 2?. Are you using the DataTemplate for suggestion box in SfComboBox and this issue occurred initially?

Since we are not aware of your exact application scenario, therefore, we ask you to try our sample and may you kindly revert to us by changing the sample depending on your request along with the replication steps. Which will be more helpful for us to analyze further and provide an appropriate solution.

Regards,

Hemalatha M.

Hi,

I've created a blank application demonstrating my problem with the values not populating - the drop down lists are populated from calls to 2 different endpoints.

My demonstration is done based on my understanding of the documentation.

I hope the sample code makes this clearer.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your update.

We have checked the reported issue in SfComboBox from our side with the provided sample. We have noticed that the below highlighted code has not been executed for Android. Due to that DataSource not updated for SfComboBox in Android, so the reported issue has been reproduced. In UWP the below code executed properly, and the suggestion has been displayed in SfComboBox.

Code Snippet:

public async Task LoadMovieLookups()

{

var movieRatingRequestMessage = CreateRequestMessage(new Uri($"{BaseAddress.ToString()}MovieLookups/Ratings"), HttpMethod.Get);

var movieRatingResponse = await MakeRequest<List<MovieRating>>(movieRatingRequestMessage.RequestMessage, movieRatingRequestMessage.TokenSource.Token);

if (movieRatingResponse.Success)

{

MovieRatingLookupList = new ObservableCollection<MovieRating>(movieRatingResponse.Result);

}

var movieRegionRequestMessage = CreateRequestMessage(new Uri($"{BaseAddress.ToString()}MovieLookups/Regions"), HttpMethod.Get);

var movieRegionResponse = await MakeRequest<List<MovieRegion>>(movieRegionRequestMessage.RequestMessage, movieRegionRequestMessage.TokenSource.Token);

if (movieRegionResponse.Success)

{

MovieRegionLookupList = new ObservableCollection<MovieRegion>(movieRegionResponse.Result);

}

Can you please check this from your side? And let us know the details.

Regards,

Hemalatha M.

I've re-uploaded the project, as there were a couple of changes that needed to be made.

During the tests I've made the following is true:

Combobox data sources populate in both UWP and Android.
None of the values of the comboboxes are populated in either UWP or Android

Thanks

Chris

Ok, it seems as though the SelectedItem was causing the issue here.

I had a look at some older posts regarding the same issue and that seemed to be the resolution so tried it on mine and it's worked.

I do find this a more cumbersome way of doing this task as it's extra steps from what I used to do in Winforms that I never considered.

Thanks for your help with this and please close this issue

Chris
