Hi,

Is there is any way of binding the editor programatically to a gridview "row" similar to the column?
We can achieve following association of editor with column:
e.g. ((GridViewDataColumn)this.RadGridView1.Columns[3]).EditorSettings = comboBoxEditorSettings;

But I want to bind the editor to each row in a datagrid view.
Scenario: There is a data grid with 2 columns. First column shows Name and second column shows the value. This value will decide which editor should be associated (which internally will be decided on enum value.)
e.g. Value = 1(enum), bind ComboBoxEditor, Value = 2(enum) bind DateTimeEditor
I searched on telerik forums but did not find anything useful for this particular scenario.

Any suggestions?

Hello Ketaki,

This functionality is not supported by the RadGridView out of the box, but you can do that with a few lines of code.
You can hook for the RadGridView.BeginningEditEvent which occurs before real creation of the editor, so there you can change EditorSettings of the cell's parent column. I'm attaching a sample project for your reference.

P.S. Note that changing EditorSettings of a column will affect every cell in that column. Type of the GridViewCell.Editor depends on the current value of the GridViewDataColumn.EditorSettings.

All the best,

Hi Ketaki,

You can take a look at this online example which demonstrates how to add hyperlink in a GridViewCell, of course if you prefer browse button the idea is the same.

If you need just "Zebra effect" you can use RadGridView.UseAlternateRowStyle to enable default alternation (available for Office_Black and Vista themes after 2009_Q1_SP2). The RadGridView.RowStyle property allows you to customize look and feel of all rows. If you need some special "Zebra effect", you can use also RadGridView.AlternateRowStyle, but do not forget to enable RadGridView.UseAlternateRowStyle.

P.S. The 2009_Q1_SP2 will be available later today, along with the release there will be a very nice help topic about UI customizations.

Best wishes,

cannot get alternating rowstyle as you describe - I just get the gridview with office black default theme, and no alternating rows - all rows look the same. Any ideas?

grid:RadGridView Name="callGrid"

CanUserInsertRows="False"

UseAlternateRowStyle="True"

IsReadOnly="True"

Margin="11,1,11,11"

Height="auto" Width="auto">

</grid:RadGridView>

Private Sub setCallsGrid()

callGrid.ItemsSource = GetCalls()

callGrid.UseAlternateRowStyle =

True

End Sub

Private Function GetCalls() As ObservableCollection(Of ECall)

Dim calls As New ObservableCollection(Of ECall)()

Dim i As Integer

For i = 1 To 100

Dim c1 As New ECall

c1.Address =

"muffin street"

calls.Add(c1)

Return calls

End Function
