Hi support,

I have added a comboBox in the Grid for edit and add option. Now how can i save the data.
Do have some example of ComboBox in Grid ?

Thank you!

Hello Niroj,

There are several examples on how to edit a property with a DropDownList:

•  Client Edit Templates.
• Using DropDownList to edit a foreign key column.
• DropDownList editing in Grid's PopUp form.

The principal is the same when using a ComboBox. You should name the ComboBox the same as the model's property in order for the selected value to be applied and use the OnEdit or OnSave events to apply custom logic when necessary.

All the best,

Hi Daniel,

I have tried with dropdownlist it works fine. But my concern is regarding the new text that we type in the comboBox that is not in dropdownlist and to save that.

But comboBox allows us to type new data which is not in the dropdownlist, and how can i check the new data is not in the list and how to update and insert that new data in database so that it appears next time in list ?

Thanks & Regards

Hello Niroj,

You could check whether the new value was in the list by handling the OnSave event and use the ComboBox data property to get the list. If the value is new you could make an Ajax request to save it. However, the value won't be added to the ComboBox until the Grid is reloaded on the server.
