Single Selection
The DropDownBox component is an editor that consists of a text field and drop-down content. In this demo, the content is the TreeView and the DataGrid in the single selection mode.
The following instructions show how to synchronize the DropDownBox with any other embedded DevExtreme component:
-
Specify data sources
The DropDownBox's and embedded component's data sources can be the same or different. If they are different, the embedded component's key field should be present in the DropDownBox's data source. -
Specify which data field provides the DropDownBox's values and the embedded component's keys
Assign the field's name to the DropDownBox's valueExpr property and to the key property of the embedded component's store. -
Synchronize the DropDownBox's value and the embedded component's selection
Bind the DropDownBox's value and the embedded component's selectedRowKeys/selectedItemKeys property to the same variable.
Feel free to share demo-related thoughts here.
