Error GridComboBoxCellElement when click on horizontal scrollbar

[rakotondrabe]

Hi,

I have a gridview with several columns and a horizontal scrollbar.

When I select an element of a combobox and when I click the right of the horizontal scrollbar so that it moves alone towards the right and to view the other columns, I have this error : 

Source : System.Threading.Thread
Message : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridComboBoxCellElement.SetContent()
   at Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridDataCellElement.set_Value(Object value)
   at Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewEditManager.EndEditCore(Boolean validate, Boolean cancel)
   at Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewEditManager.CloseEditor()
   at Telerik.WinControls.UI.BaseGridBehavior.OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)
   at Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadGridView.OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseDown(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks)

   at Telerik.WinControls.RadControl.WndProc(Message& m)

   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

My winform application is then completely frozen.

And this error appears only with combobox columns.

Can you help me to solve this error?

Thank you!

Hello Rakotondrabe,

Thank you for writing.

I have tested the described scenario with our latest version and I was not able to replicate it. Attached you can find the project I used for my tests. 

Could you please let modify it on a way to replicate the experienced exception and let me know how can I reproduce it, so I can investigate it and provide you with adequate support.

Greetings,

Hi,

I am also getting this exception on one particular dropdown. We have numerous combobox dropdowns and all are fine except one and I am unable to see what is different.

The dropdown is populated with the domain values as a datatable and the column bound to the relevant column on the grid datasource. The selected value in this dropdown is then set when the datasource is bound to the grid and correctly displays the selected value. The dropdown correctly displays the list of available values and I can select different values.

If I then select a different value and click off the grid though I get the exact exception above.

If the value is null initially though I can select a value and click off the grid and everything is OK, However, if I then repeat the operation now there is an existing value, I get the exception.

Regardless of whether the value is populated initially or not, if I select a value and tab out of the cell instead of clicking off, I get no exception and everything works as expected.

As I say, I am unable to determine what is different with this combobox than the 100's of others we have across the application.

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks,

Hi,

I think this is caused by a grid refresh occurring on the Cell Value Changed event.

I have removed the refresh (moved it) and this is no longer crashing.

Many thanks,
