TcxBarEditItem - ItemIndex property is not available in object inspector if its in-place editor is specified as a repository itemThe behavior of a TcxBarEditItem's EditValue has changed when a RepositoryItem (ImageComboBox) is assigned by design:
In older versions of the component the ImageComboBox.Items[0] value was set as default value for the TcxBarEditItem. Now this is not taken into account any more and NULL is set to the EditValue what leads to severe issues in my application as the user have to select a value first instead of having the defaults.

Hello Anton,
Thank you for the details. In v23.2 and newer, TcxBarEditItem has the ItemIndex property that allows you to select an active item of combobox-like editors programmatically. The new mechanism assigns ItemIndex to -1 if an editor's value is null. When the editor is displayed the first item, its value corresponds to this item as well. While we completely understand the impact on your project, we consider the current behavior correct and decided to keep it since the previous behavior would be ambiguous within the ItemIndex property's mechanism. We recommend you assign the ItemIndex property programmatically to show the first item.
Hi, Alex!
When I look at the ObjectInspector's properties I can't find the ItemIndex property as shown in your screenshot. What is the reason for this?
Thank you for the screenshot. It looks like this behavior occurs when you use repository items. We will examine it and update the following thread once we have news: TcxBarEditItem - ItemIndex property is not available in object inspector if its in-place editor is specified as a repository item.
