How to set the selected item of the DropDownList?
If for example i have a 5 item dropdownlist
Hello1
Hello2
Hello3
Hello4
Hello5If i want to select ‘Hello3’ is this going to work,
$(‘#DropDownList1’).jqxDropDownList(‘selectItem’, ‘Hello3’);
this approach is not going to work.I do not want to select by using the index of the dropdownlist because i will get the value from a grid.
And what is the datatype of the parameter being passed in the dropdownlist selectItem method?Hi ryan paul,
Actually, that will work in jQWidgets 2.8.

Hi bhanu.vaddavalli,
It works with jQWidgets 2.8+ versions. The result is that the selected item is “Hello 3”.
