Hi,
I'm developing a custom gridview column cell editor control that need to have windowing behavior similar to the datepicker control (animated drop down and a button to pop the control). Since I can't seem to go the same route as the Telerik built-in gridview datepicker control, any advise on how to approach this problem is greatly appreciated.

Hello tony,
Kind regards,

Do you want to have your say when we set our development plans? Do you want to know when a feature you care about is added or when a bug fixed? Explore the Telerik Public Issue Tracking system and vote to affect the priority of the items.
Probably the best approach is to create a custom control that will play the role of an editor and then use this custom editor in RadGridView. One of my colleagues has posted a great article on this subject which can be used as a reference.
Kind regards,

Hi Milan,
Unless I'm mistaken, the problem with the proposed solution is that the custom edit control appears inside the cell, thus enlarging the entire gridview row; I want to avoid this effect by doing something similar to the date picker control which slides below the cell, without enlarging the height of the entire gridview row.
I wish I can just copy the approach of the gridview datepicker control, unfortunately, it's a telerik built-in control which have access to telerik's internal template and internal class inheritance, something that I don't have access to.
