When implementing the RadComboBox, the items list (which, in my case, is a few hundred items) opens slowly. How do I use a virtualized control like DataGrid or Grid view to improve the performance? Any other suggestions are welcome also.

Thanks,
mhenderson

Hello Michael,

Several months ago, I wrote a blog post about replacing the RadComboBox ItemsPresenter with RadTreeView. If your data is hierarchical or can be groupped, you could use a treeview with load-on-demand inside RadComboBox, otherwise you could try the same approach and replace the ItemsPresenter with RadGridView or other virtualized Grid control:

Thanks for your reply. I downloaded the treeview-in-a-combobox sample and swapped the treeview with a datagrid. Then I added a thousand records to the sample datasource. However, this is much slower than the same datagrid by itself with the same amount of data. Is there something I am missing?

Hi Michael,

We are work hard to implement horizontal (cells) virtualization. Could you send us simple project so that we can investigate your scenario?

Thanks.

I'd be happy to send in a sample project illustrating the issue. What's the method for submitting one?
