To reproduce: - Set the AutoFileter property to true. - Add filter descriptor; - Start the application and type something in the control - you just need to filter the values so more than one entry is available in the drop down. - Press Tab or click on other control. - You will notice that the selected value is set, but the text is not synchronized. Workaround: void radMultiColumnComboBox1_Validated(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (radMultiColumnComboBox1.SelectedValue != null) { string text = radMultiColumnComboBox1.EditorControl.CurrentRow.Cells[radMultiColumnComboBox1.DisplayMember].Value.ToString(); if (text != radMultiColumnComboBox1.Text) { radMultiColumnComboBox1.Text = text; } } }
