How to programmatically select an item (or many) in MultiSelectionComboBox?

Let's say I have a multiSelectionComboBox from Synfusion with items in Windows Forms like this : 

multiSelectionComboBoxDays.Items.Add("Monday");
multiSelectionComboBoxDays.Items.Add("Tuesday");
multiSelectionComboBoxDays.Items.Add("Wednesday");
...

I want "Tuesday" and "Wednesday" items to be selected by default. I tried :

multiSelectionComboBoxDays.SelectedItems = "Tuesday";
multiSelectionComboBoxDays.SelectedItem = "Tuesday";

and other variants with no success.

I know I can use SelectAll() and UnSelectAll(), but this is not what I want.

How can I programmatically select an item (or many) in MultiSelectionComboBox?

Solution

  • Have you tried:

    multiSelectionComboBoxDays.SelectedItems.Add()
multiSelectionComboBoxDays.AddVisualItem()

    It's been a while since I used Syncfusion, so I might be a tad rusty
