ComboBoxColumn automatic creation

[Giovanni Riccò]

Hi,

how could I make a grid automatically create a ComboBoxColumn by giving it a BindingList of custom objects? The grid only detects decimal and datetime columns corresponding to object's properties of the same type, but for the remaining properties it creates TextBoxColumns. This is correct because these properties are string but the column's type should be ComboBoxColumn. I'm guessing if there's a way to change the column's type dinamically, but the explicit cast produces an exception.

Greetings,

Hi,

As far as I'm aware, you cannot auto generate a column of this type. You need to define the column and give it the datasource, displaymember and value member properties. Please have a look at this documentation.

If you need more help, just let me know

Hi Richard,

the only solution seems to be adding columns manually.

Hi,

Yes, from my understanding, that's the case.
