Adding combobox in first row of decimal column

[Borislav]

Hello,

I have a requirement to display grid view of decimal value columns with the exception that I need to show comboboxes in the first row of the grid view. Comboboxes will have three non-editable values. How to achieve this?

Borislav,

The following article shows how you can achieve this: Change the Active Editor Depending on the Cell Value Type.

I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.

In the article you sent there is no example of how to allow user to select one out of some predefined values from dropdown. In my case, these values should be shown as text values but in the background they are represented by integers 0, 1, and 2 (an enum)

 How can I achieve this?

Hi Borislav,

Here is how you can add DropDownListEditor and set its data source:

private void RadGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.EditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    if (radGridView1.CurrentColumn.Name == "DeciamlColumn")
    {
        var editor = new RadDropDownListEditor();
        var element = editor.EditorElement as RadDropDownListEditorElement;
        element.DataSource = GetTable1();
        element.DisplayMember = "Text";
        element.ValueMember = "Value";
        e.Editor = editor;
    }
}

I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.
