How to get Selected Value from DevExpress RepositoryItemLookUpEdit

Question

I have 1 DevExpress.XtraBars.Bar control in the form. I have Added 1 RepositoryItemLookUpEdit on that menu Bar now I want to get selected value on 1 button Click event

 private void barButtonItem2_ItemClick(object sender, DevExpress.XtraBars.ItemClickEventArgs e)
    {
        if(lkpReportName.EditValue!=null)
        {

        }
    }

It gives error

Error 42 'DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository.RepositoryItemLookUpEdit' does not contain a definition for 'EditValue' and no extension method 'EditValue' accepting a first argument of type 'DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository.RepositoryItemLookUpEdit' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Answer 1

RepositoryItemLookUpEdit itself doesn't have this property. However, you can access the selected value via EditValue property of BarEditValue - which is the container for your RepositoryItemLookUpEdit.
