So when i press edit, I can choose a value in the dropdown, press update and the update command -event fires.

void

caseGrid_UpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

if(e.CommandName.Equals("Update") && e.Item is GridEditableItem)

{

var item = e.Item as GridDataItem;

int oldRelationTypeID = int.Parse(item.GetDataKeyValue("RelationStatusTypeID").ToString());

RadComboBox ddl = item["RelationStatus"].Controls[0] as RadComboBox;

int newRelationTypeID = int.Parse(ddl.SelectedValue);

GridEditableItem item2 = e.Item as GridEditableItem;

GridEditManager man = item2.EditManager;

RadComboBox operCombo = (man.GetColumnEditor("RelationStatus") as GridDropDownListColumnEditor).ComboBoxControl;

string operId = operCombo.SelectedValue;

// also returns preselected value

}

}

The problem here is that the value I get is the preselected one, not the one selected in the dropdown.
