but i was able to get only the focused value...and combo-box is not populating...how to achieve all the values and set focus on particular value

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Source" DataField="SourceName">

                        <ItemTemplate>

                            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "SourceName")%>

                        </ItemTemplate>

                        <EditItemTemplate>

                            <telerik:RadComboBox ID="rdcmbSource1" runat="server" Height="200px" Width="190px"

                                DataTextField="SourceName" DataValueField="SourceID" DataSource="<%# GetActivemarketingSources() %>"

public static object GetActivemarketingSources()
       {
           using (EnabledDataContext db = new EnabledDataContext())
           {
               var getsources = (from sources in db.Sources
                                 where sources.StoreID.Equals(535) && !sources.Deleted
                                 orderby sources.SourceID
                                 select new
                                 {
                                     SourceID = sources.SourceID.ToString(),
                                     SourceName = sources.SourceName.ToString()
                                 }).ToList();
               getsources.Insert(0, new { SourceID = "", SourceName = "" });
               getsources.Insert(1, new { SourceID = "", SourceName = "Selected by user" });
               return getsources;
           }
       }

Hi,

Try populating the RadComboBox in the ItemDataBound event. Here is the sample code snippet I tried.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Source" DataField="SourceName">
         <ItemTemplate>
               <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OrderID")%>
         </ItemTemplate>
         <EditItemTemplate>
               <telerik:RadComboBox ID="rdcmbSource1" runat="server" Height="200px" Width="190px">
               </telerik:RadComboBox>
         </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

C#:

protected void Rad_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridEditableItem edititem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
        RadComboBox radcombo = (RadComboBox)edititem.FindControl("rdcmbSource1");
        radcombo.DataSource = datatable1;
        radcombo.DataTextField = "OrderID";
        radcombo.DataValueField = "OrderID";
        radcombo.DataBind();
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi,

You could not bind declaratively RadComboBox in mark-up using the DataSource property. When you are using DataSource property you should set its value in the code-behind and call the DataBind method as Shinu has shown.

Give this approach a try and check whether you get the expected behavior.

Hello, i see the answe is from years ago but i need some help with a similar issue.

I have a rad grid that shows some data and also a combo box. what i want is that this combo box gets populated from the radGrid. Meaning that if in the grid there is a colums with Id (1,2,4, 7) the ComboBox will show only these values and if in another time in the grid will remain values like ID (2,4) the combobox will show only 2 and 4 as opstionms to select.
i have googled and found some examples but they are not clear enough for a new programmer as i am.
this is a part of code i have for the grid

 

AllowFilteringByColumn="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowMultiRowSelection="True" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="100" GroupPanelPosition="Top" CssClass="radGridCls" Skin="Silk" OnNeedDataSource="radGridHoReallocate_NeedDataSource" OnInit="RadGrid_Init" OnItemDataBound="radGridRejectedCards" Height="570px" OnPreRender="radGridHoReallocate_PreRender"> <GroupingSettings CaseSensitive="false" /> <ClientSettings> <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" /> <Scrolling AllowScroll="True" UseStaticHeaders="true" SaveScrollPosition="true"></Scrolling> </ClientSettings> <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="ID" CommandItemDisplay="Top"> <CommandItemSettings ShowAddNewRecordButton="false" /> <RowIndicatorColumn Visible="False"></RowIndicatorColumn> <ExpandCollapseColumn Created="True"></ExpandCollapseColumn> <PagerStyle AlwaysVisible="true" PagerTextFormat="{4} Items: {5}" PageSizes="100,200,300" /> <Columns> <telerik:GridBoundColumn AutoPostBackOnFilter="True" CurrentFilterFunction="Contains" DataField="ID" UniqueName="ID" Display="FALSE"> </telerik:GridBoundColumn> <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="CUSTOMER_NO" UniqueName="BKT_CUSTOMER_NO" Display="FALSE"> </telerik:GridBoundColumn></Columns> <PagerStyle AlwaysVisible="true" /> </MasterTableView> </telerik:RadGrid>

and the combo that i didnt mentioned before is inside a RadWindow that shows after making some selections in the grid

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="radCBoxID" runat="server" Visible="true" DropDownWidth="280px" OnSelectedIndexChanged="radCBoxID_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="true" Width="100%" Height="200px"> <Items> </Items> </telerik:RadComboBox>

Thank you in advance
