Hi Devexpress,
The example is not working as expected when IsTextEditable="True", when searching by some text and selecting corresponding items the selecteditems is always empty ???

Best regards,
Ayyam

This does not work or I do not complete understand it. How do I get the selected items out of it? Can I use the SelectedItem property with a binding? I've tried it but only one item is set, not a list of items if I select more than one.

Hi Stefan,

I suggest that you use the LookUpEdit.EditValue property to get or set selected items.

Thanks Alex. It works with the EditValue property.

Maybe you can help me with one additional problem in this context:
I add a delete button to the LookUpEdit.Buttons property. I am not sure, what I should do in the event handler to delete the selection. Currently I am setting the EditValue to Null, which updates the bounded datasource correctly. But when I reopen the editor, the items are still selected.
