combox listindex

[Salah]

Hello,

I need to assign a value of the list index of a combobox(not the actual selected item, its listindex) to  the value of text box. I tried this but its not working:

DataCardValue4.Text=ComboBox1.selecteditems

thank you

Carefull, ComboBox1.SelectedItems is a collection and you need only one value to assign to the Text property

Perhaps you should use the First function to select just the first selected item in the selection list, like this:

on the datacardvalue property 

Text = First (ComboBox1.SelectedItems).<your_text_column>

hello,

i need to get the list index of the combox and not the actual value of the selected list.

For example if we have 3 values in cmbox box : chocolate,milk,strawberry.

the when they select chocolate its index is 0, milk is 1, strawberry is 2.

thank you

Then if the datasource of the combobox has 2 columns let's say: ID and Text, you have to 

1. set the DisplayFields of combobox to ["Text"]

2. Default property of the TextInput to: First(ComboBox1.SelectedItems).ID

Yes. Bdodu is right. Combobox.SelectedItems is a table. TextInput can't display table.
You can also try
TextInput1.Default = Combobox1.Selected.ID
It will display the ID of the last user's selection on Combobox1 (by ID I refer to your index column)

.default give an error i tried this: DataCardValue4.Text = ComboBox1.Selected.codes

but i'm geting pink underline on it. picture attached.

Do you really need multiple options combobox?

if not Set the SelectMultiple property to false

the dotted line error should say something when you place the cursor on top.

Default should work, just try my instruction with First in front and in case of an error provide us the message error

[Salah]

i wrote this but its not giving any result to datacardvalue4

DataCardValue4.Text = First(ComboBox1.SelectedItems).codes

still i have a pink line under DataCardValue4 without any error

[bdodu]

the pink line suggest an error. 

Can you detail the datasource? 

How did you set the Item property of the combobox?
