Hello [e-mail],

We do not have such column in RadGridView for Silverlight.
We have the regularGridViewComboBoxColumn. The comboBox editor of the column can have the multiple selection enabled view the EditorStyle property of the Column.
In order to add checkBoxes you can change the layout of the combo items by using the ItemTemplate property of the GridViewComboBoxColumn.

Kind regards,

Hi

I am also trying to create a multi-select ComboBox with the GridViewComboBoxColumn. I cannot find any 'multiple selection' properties for the comboBox like you mentioned in your previous post.

Can you tell me exactly what this property is called and where it is?

Thanks

Hello,

The idea is to predefine the EditorStyle of the GridViewComboBoxColumn:

<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn...>
  <telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn.EditorStyle>
    <Style TargetType="telerik:RadComboBox">

    </Style>
  </telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn.EditorStyle>
...
</telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn>

Furthermore, you may predefine the ItemTemplate of the column so that its view customized. You may take a look at our online documentation for a reference. 
Considering the multi-selection and definition of CheckBox-es inside, you may look at this forum thread and this code library for a reference as well as a sample project on the way to set the RadComboBox in such a manner.

Hi Maya

Thanks for your quick reply. Because of some other functional requirements, i have moved on to using a dropdownButton and Listbox combination. Hopefully this will work better.

I will have a look at your suggestion nevertheless.

Thanks for your help!
