Auto-dropdown GridViewComboBoxColumn on single-click Q2 2008

[Michael Yereniuk]

I was previously able to achieve a single click dropdown on a GridViewComboBoxColumn with the following code:

    Private Sub RadGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCellEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.CellEditorInitialized
        If Not (Me.RadGridView1.ActiveEditor Is Nothing) AndAlso (TypeOf Me.RadGridView1.ActiveEditor Is RadComboBoxEditor) Then
            'CType(Me.RadGridView1.ActiveEditor, RadComboBoxeditor).ShowDropDown
        End If
    End Sub

Now that I have upgraded to Q2 2008, the ShowDropDown event has disappeared.  I do not find any helpful advice within the release notes for Q2 2008.

Is there still a way to accomplish this?

Hello Michael,

We have updated our release notes accordingly and now they reflect the change. The new method is called ShowPopup. Also the CloseDropDown is substituted by ClosePopup method. The change is due to our combobox major refactoring, that required some external changes to the API also.  We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
