lookupedit get selected value

Question

I'm using devexpress, and visualstudio 2010. I have LookUpEdit control, where i want to choose value, but display it with the specified format: there is example which i used with buttonEdit:

    CurrentEvent.fkVersion = selectedVersion;
    m_cVersionButtonEdit.EditValue= CurrentEvent.fkVersion.FormattedProduct;
    m_cVersionButtonEdit.Refresh(); 

"selectedVersion" is an object which i choose in dialog after button press.

now I have to do the same, but using lookupEdit and selecting version from dropDownlist. So question is how to get Selected value?

Answer 1

I am not sure what you are asking about, but the easiest way to get selected value is like this:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public class Example
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
    }

    public List<Example> elist = new List<Example>();

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            elist.Add(new Example() { Id = i, Name = "Name" + i, Description = "Description " + i });
        }
        lookUpEdit1.Properties.DataSource = elist;
        lookUpEdit1.Properties.DisplayMember = "Name";
    }

    private void lookUpEdit1_EditValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var item = lookUpEdit1.GetSelectedDataRow() as Example;
    }
}
