Add Combo Box to Specific Cell in the GridView Control

[James]

Assume I only want to add a combo box editor to the cell located in the second row, second column of a gridview control.  Am I able to do this?  If so, what code would I use for this?  All of the other cells in this control will have a text edit box editor.


Thanks.

Hi James,

Thank you for writing.

A convenient event for replacing the default editor with a custom one is the EditorRequired event of RadGridView. Here is a sample snippet:

void radGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    if (radGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex == 1 && radGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == 1)
    {
        e.Editor = new RadDropDownListEditor();
    }
}

More information regarding editors in RadGridView can be found in the following help section: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-editors-using-custom-editors.html.

I hope that you find the provided information useful.
