[Solved] Custom DropDown Column Editor Databind

[Manuel Ortiz]

Hello, I have a custom dropdown column editor that implements the GridDropDownColumnEditor using a RadComboBox.  Also, I am using an autogenerated popup edit form where that custom editor is working perfectly.  However the OnComboBind and DataBind subs of my custom dropdown editor are empty but, nevertheless, as I said, the dropdown is working perfectly... How come?? Where does the RadGrid binds it?? Is there any special setting I have missed that does this without the need of defining the OnComboBind and DataBind subs?? For what is the OnComboBind() for?? I have done a lot of research trying to find what does this procedure do but haven't found anything about it yet.

Thank you for your help.

Hello Manuel,

The RadComboBox inside the GridDropDownColumnEditor is bound when the RadGrid is bound to data. You could find more information about the RadGrid data binding on the link bellow:

Also you could use the RadComboBox ComboBind and DataBind methods if you want to override the default binding of the GridDropDownColumnEditor's  RadComboBox. For example: When you want to add manually controls into the RadComboBox control. 

I hope this helps.

All the best,
