ASPxComboBox - How to set selected item?

Question

I'm using : ASPxComboBox

The problem is how to set selectedValue from code behind? If my html is like this:

<dxe:ASPxComboBox ID="cbxJobType" runat="server" width="200px" MaxLength="50">
    <Items>
        <dxe:ListEditItem Text="Contract" Value="0" />
        <dxe:ListEditItem Text="Full Time" Value="1" />
        <dxe:ListEditItem Text="Part Time" Value="2" />
    </Items>
    <ValidationSettings ErrorDisplayMode="ImageWithTooltip">
        <RequiredField ErrorText="Required Value" IsRequired="True" />
    </ValidationSettings>
</dxe:ASPxComboBox>

Answer 1

Client-Side Script

Give ClientInstanceName property to comboBoxto access it client side and ID property as cbxJobType to access control server side.

 // by text
    comboBox.SetText('Text #2');
    // by value
    comboBox.SetValue('Value #2');
    // by index
    comboBox.SetSelectedIndex(1); 

Server-Side Code

// by text
cbxJobType.Text = "Text #2";
// by value
cbxJobType.Value = "Value #2";
// by index
cbxJobType.SelectedIndex = 1; 

This code works fine too:

cbxJobType.SelectedItem = cbxJobType.Items.FindByValue("Value #2");
