Different ItemSource property in RadGridView and ComboBox

[Mathan lal]

Hi,

We are using ComboBox on the Column Header of RadGridView.
Is there any way to use different Item Source property for RadGridView and ComboBox?

Thanks & Regards,
Mathanlal A.J.

Hi Mathan lal,

You can set any source to the combo, since you are creating it. For example:

RadComboxBox myCombo = new RadComboBox();
myCombo.ItemsSource = <<somethig>>
this.radGridView.Columns[0].Header = myCombo.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Ross,

Thanks for your quick response. I appreciate it.

As you mentioned, it works fine in dynamic creation of combobox.

Just I want to know about the same in the design time creation.

For eg. find some code snippets like below.

 

 

<   telerikGridView:RadGridView x:Name="dgEmpEarnings" CanUserResizeColumns="False"     MultipleSelect="False"     DataLoadMode="Asynchronous"     AreRowDetailsFrozen="True"     ItemsSource="{Binding empEarnHistoryDetail, Mode=TwoWay}"     IsReadOnly="True"     AutoGenerateColumns="False"     VerticalAlignment="Stretch"     ColumnsWidthMode="Fill"     CanUserFreezeColumns="False"     UseAlternateRowStyle="True"     ColumnBackground="{x:Null}"     ShowGroupPanel="False"     RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed"     ScrollMode="RealTime"     Style="{StaticResource RadGridViewSettings}"     Background="#E1EEFF"     GridLinesVisibility="Vertical"     >       <telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>   <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn x:Name="ColHistDescription" UniqueName="dgColHistDescription"

Header="Description"

HeaderTextAlignment="Center">

<telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.HeaderCellStyle>

<Style TargetType="Telerik_Windows_Controls_GridView:GridViewHeaderCell">

<Setter Property="Template">

<Setter.Value>

<ControlTemplate TargetType="Telerik_Windows_Controls_GridView:GridViewHeaderCell">

<ComboBox x:Name="cmbDescription" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="20"

SelectedIndex="0"

ItemsSource="{Binding ActiveEarnings}"

DisplayMemberPath="LongTitle">

</ComboBox>

</ControlTemplate>

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

</Style>

</telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.HeaderCellStyle>

<telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<TextBlock x:Name="txtblkDesc" Text="{Binding EarnDescription}"  Margin="5,0,0,0" ></TextBlock>

</DataTemplate>

</telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>

</telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn>  </   telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>       </telerikGridView:RadGridView>

 

 

 

 

Please let me know if it is possible.
 
Thanks & Regards,
Mathanlal A.J.

Hi Mathan lal,

I doubt that this will be possible, since the Combo is inside a Control template. But what you can do is the following. Attach to the combo's Loaded event. Then in the event handler set its ItemsSource to the correct thing. I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
