Add chart or any other control to a cell

[Chuck Thompson]

What I wantto do is in the CellFormatting event(of elsewhere) I want to dynamically add a chart to a cell.
I can create the chart from code with no problem but I don't see a way to add a chart or any other control to a cell.
What I thought I would be able to do is this(pseudo):

 

GridCellElement cell = e.CellElement;

 

cell.Controls.Add(createChart(series1Val, series2Val));

Is there a way to add a chart to a grid and or a cell specifically?
Of if I need to do it at the column level(and use values from other columns) or any other level, please let me know..

Thanks

I worked around this issue for now by using the GetBitmap method off of the chart like so.

 GridCellElement cell = e.CellElement;
 RadChart cellChart = createChart(same, diff);
 cell.Image = cellChart.GetBitmap();

But I am still curious as how to add other controls or any control to a cell.
Thanks in advance..

Hello Chuck Thompson,

The solution that you found is really the most appropriate for your scenario. Please refer to our documentation about custom editors and custom cell elements. You need to be expert in WinForms and have some knowledge of RadGridView to implement most of these custom scenarios.
