Hi Nguyen Huu Hanh Lam,

There’s still no selectValue method, but you can use the code below to find an item by value and then to select it.

// get all items.
var items = $("#jqxWidget").jqxDropDownList('getItems');
                
// find the index by searching for an item with specific value.
var indexToSelect = -1;
$.each(items, function (index) {
    if (this.value == "Blido Comidas preparadas") {
        indexToSelect = index;
        return false;
    }
});
$("#jqxWidget").jqxDropDownList({ selectedIndex: indexToSelect });

Thanks again Peter!

But… I hope you will add this important feature in the future, because the extract data is as important as entering data.

(sorry about my English)

Thanks for the suggestion, Nguyen Huu Hanh Lam. I agree that a ‘selectValue’ method would be helpful and I created a new work item regarding this.

I found this helpful as well and I am glad that it could be included in the next version.

Another vote for a selectedValue property!

[SanoKParticipant]

this should be work

$("#jqxWidget").jqxDropDownList({ selectedIndex: $("#jqxWidget").jqxDropDownList('getItemByValue',"Blido Comidas preparadas").index});

Hi SanoK,

There is a selectItem method.
