ComboBoxColumn - drop down on focus

[Gary]

I need to support having combo box columns display their drop downs when the cell is given focus, rather then the default behavior of clicking on the cell, then clicking on the dropdown arrow.  Are there any examples of doing this?

Hi Gary,

You can achieve this with the following xaml code:

<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn Header="Position" DataMemberBinding="{Binding PositionID}"
                                                DisplayMemberPath="Name" SelectedValueMemberPath="ID"
                                                EditTriggers="CellClick">
                    <telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn.EditorStyle>
                        <Style TargetType="telerik:RadComboBox">
                            <Setter Property="OpenDropDownOnFocus" Value="true" />
                        </Style>
                    </telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn.EditorStyle>
                </telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn>

You have to change bindings according to your scenario. Let me know how this works on your end.
