Hi Mohammad,

Thank you for writing.

You can add GridViewComboBoxColumn and bind it to a list that contains the desired items:

GridViewComboBoxColumn myColumn = new GridViewComboBoxColumn();
myColumn.Name = "Action Column";
myColumn.DataSource = new List<string>{ "Add","Delete","Edit"};
myColumn.Width = 200;
this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(myColumn);

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Hello Mohammad,

Thank you for writing back.

In this case you should put the cell in edit mode first, then you will see the editor and you will be able to pick a value. In addition I have created a small sample to show you how the desired grid can be achieved. Please note that you can have bound and unbound columns in the grid. 

I hope this helps.

Hi Mohammad,

Thank you for writing back.

You can disable the editing for particular columns by setting the ReadOnly property of each column that you do not want the user to be able to make changes to. For example you can make the first 4 columns in the grid read only like this:

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
    radGridView1.Columns[i].ReadOnly = true;
}

In addition you can put the cell in edit mode by just clicking it, this will create the proper editor and will allow you to chose one of the values (see attached image).

I hope this will be useful.
