Custom GridDropDownColumn

[alo]

Hello,

I have extended the RadComboBox and I was wondering if I could use this custom version in the standard GridDropDownColumn.  I noticed there is a DropDownControlType property that has two options: RadComboBox and DropDownList.  Is it possible to add my extended version of the RadComboBox to these choices or is there a better way to use my extended version of the RadComboBox in a grid column.  I've tried using the TemplateColumn, but it seems overly complicated when I try to support filtering and sorting.

Hi Alo,

You cannot change the controls in the GridDropDownColumn. If you want to use the combo in edit mode only, you could use a regular bound column for browse mode and specify a FormTemplate for editing the grid where you can add controls of your choice:
