I want to clean up a SfComboBox from the selected values

[maurizio]

I would like to do what with the traditional combobox is done with the command:
comboBox.SelectedIndex = -1;
In that case the text is cleaned up and the combobox is in the initial state as if there had been no selection.
I can do this when loading the form with SfComboBox.
But if I make a selection after I can no longer clean up the SfComboBox .

It gives me the error: index -1 not valid, it accepts only positive values and greater than 0

thanks

Maurizio

Intenta usar el método Clear del combobox. Yo le asignaba null al SelectedValue y al SelectedItem pero en algunos casos, no lo asignaba correctamente. Usando el método Clear me funcionó bien, creía que ese método era para eliminar los items del combobox pero no.

[Suganya Sethuraman]

Hi Joanna,

SfComboBox's clear method is used to clear the SelectedItem or SelectedValue of SfComboBox. This clear method does not clear the ItemsSource of SfComboBox.

Please let us know if you have any other concerns.

Suganya Sethuraman. 

[Andrew Hoke]

Sorry for the late reply. I am now on 19.2.0.60 and still unable to clear the SfComboBox selection by setting the SelectedIndex to -1 via data binding. I have tried changing the binding mode to OneWay and TwoWay and neither work.
