How to programatically select items in a multiselect ComboBoxBarItem

[Andrew]

When I programatically select items in a (multiselect) ComboBoxBarItem control by callling the ListBox.SetSelected method, the text displayed in the underlying Textbox remains blank. If the user selects items using the mouse, however, this gets populated with one of the items that is selected.

How can I make sure that the control behaves the same way as it would if the user were to select items using the mouse, but programatically?

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for posting your query to us.
I am afraid that I was not able to reproduce the issue. I have created a simple sample to test this issue and it is available in the following link.

Please have a look at the above sample and if still the issue exists, could you please try reproducing it in the above sample or send us the reproducing steps so that we could sort out the cause of the issue and provide you a solution?
Regards,
Jisha

Thanks for your reply.

This was the key statement that I was missing:

this.comboBoxBarItem1.TextBoxValue = this.comboBoxBarItem1.ListBox.Text;
