Hi,

I am populating a dropdown in the Editor toolbar using the red code below:

 

The dropdownlist is populating ok, but I want to be able to display the SelectedValue based on a value obtained from the database. So instead of always displaying the caption "Template" I want to display the name of the template that is brought out of the database - based on its ID.

As a test, I have tried  ddlTemplates.SelectedItem.Value = 311 (311 is a TemplateID in the database)

This has the effect of appending the value of 311 to the caption  - resulting in:

<option value="311" selected="True">Template</option> the value of 311 has been appended to this item. Previously the value was "".

 

I actually want black_template selected because it has the value of 311 taken from the database.
<option value="311"> black_template</option>

 

There does not seem to be the option to get the SelectedValue of a RichDropDownList

 

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you.

 

 

 

Dim container As System.Web.UI.Control

    container = Editor1.ToolControls("custom").Control

    Dim ddlTemplates As CuteEditor.RichDropDownList

    ddlTemplates = New CuteEditor.RichDropDownList(Editor1)

 

    'must set this css name
    ddlTemplates.CssClass = "~/styles/AcmsMain.css"
    'add the first item (caption)
    ddlTemplates.Items.Add("[[Template]]", "")

 

    'hide the first item (caption) in the float-panel
    ddlTemplates.RichHideFirstItem = True
   
    container.Controls.Add(ddlTemplates)
  

    Dim objRdr As SqlClient.SqlDataReader = Nothing
    objRdr = SiteDB.SiteGetTemplatesByPage(PageID, NewPage)

    If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
      Try
        While objRdr.Read
          ddlTemplates.Items.Add(objRdr("Name"), objRdr("TemplateID"))
          
        End While
      Finally
        objRdr.Close()
      End Try
    End If
