Hi,
Ok what I am trying to do is create a combobox at runtime, populate it with data, add it to my tab control, and sets its selectedindex to -1, so nothing is selected.
So that all works, when the page is displayed, the combobox is there with nothing selected, but when I click on another tab, then click back, the first item is selected in the combobox!!!!!!!!!!
Now that really sucks, as I cant have that for my application.
If you add the items without populating from a dataset it it seems to work fine, (.items.add("etc")), but when the data is binded it does not work properly.
Any ideas?
Source code below and attached:
