Dynamically changing cell editor per row at runtime

[Ben]

I am building an application that uses a grid much like the Properties grid is used in Visual Studio.  I basically need to display a list of name/value pairs within a grid, and the data type of the value will vary from row to row.  When the user clicks in the value cell on a given row, I would like to present the editor to them that is appropriate for that data type (date picker for dates, checkbox for booleans, dropdown or text box for strings, etc.).

Is this possible with the RadGridView?  All of the examples I've found so far are for setting the editor for an entire column rather than for an individual cell.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi,

I am looking for the similar functionality where a cell editor should show datetime picker or combobox based on another cell value.  Do you have a sample avaialble for this?  I am using MVVM in my app.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Maya,

 

I saw your post on how to change individual cell editor at runtime not the whole column

Will you please also send me your solution [e-mail]

Thanks,

Hi Haggai,

You can create a CellEditTemplate for the column you want thus modifying the editor of the whole column. More information can be found in Setting CellTemplate and CellEditTemplate article.
