Exit edit mode when an item is selected in a GridViewComboBoxColumn editor

[Matt]

Hi all,

I have a grid that uses the GridViewComboBoxColumn column type.  We're trying to give it very fast action.  We want the cell to commit the edit and exit edit mode immediately after selecting a value in the combo box of the column.

How can this be done?  I see there's a RadMultiColumnComboBox.SelectionChanged event where an EndEdit could be called, but we're not using multi-column combo boxes.

Thanks!
Matt

Hi Matt,

Such behavior can be achieved by hooking up to the SelectionChanged event of the RadComboBox that GridViewComboBoxColumn uses for its editing operation. This is discussed in detail in the Handle SelectionChanged for GridViewComboBoxColumn topic. In the event handler, you can call the CommitEdit method of RadGridView as shown in the article.

I hope this article is helpful.
