Getting a value from GridViewLookupColumn

[BILLY ALLEN]

I have the following:
 

GridViewLookUpColumn 

 

cs = 
    (GridViewLookUpColumn) grdDocActivities.Columns.FindByUniqueName("colSubDisc");

Question:

How can I get the current selected value of this control?

I see there's a "GetLookupValue()" method, but I can't find details on how to use it.

Advice or tips?  Thanks!

Hello BILLY ALLEN,

Thank you for contacting us.

You can find the corresponding DisplayMember from the known cell value by using the GetLookupValue method. Please, review the code below as example:
 

object displayMember = ((GridViewComboBoxColumn)radGridView1.Columns[2]).GetLookupValue(value);

If you have a different scenario, please send me more details on your requirements. This will help me to understand your case and provide you with further assistance.

Thanks Martin,

Not quite there yet.  I'll explain further:

I am doing in-grid editing.  A few of the columns are drop-down lists.  The twist is that the drop-down lists are related to each other -- that is, the second one depends on the first one, and so on (e.g., cascading drop downs).

I think the CellBeginEdit event is where I need to do all the work (if not, please point the way!). 

So, in this event, how can I get the currently-selected value of a drop-down list that's selected in the grid? 

Here's some stuff that I've been doing so far:

// doc activities row editing, entering a cell

 

GridViewColumn col = grdDocActivities.Columns[e.ColumnIndex];

 

 

if (col is GridViewLookUpColumn)

 

{

 

    int subDisc = 0;

 

 

    GridViewLookUpColumn cs = (GridViewLookUpColumn)grdDocActivities.Columns.FindByUniqueName("colSubDisc");
    // so now I have this column.  How can I get its selected value?

 

}

thanks for your time and consideration.

Hi BILLY ALLEN,

Thank you for getting back to me.

In CellBeginEdit event you can access value and text from any combo box cell element using a code like the following:

void radGridView1_CellBeginEdit(object sender, GridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.radGridView1.CurrentRow == this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewInfo.TableAddNewRow)
    {
        object valueMember = ((GridComboBoxCellElement)this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewInfo.TableAddNewRow.Cells["colSubDisc"].CellElement).Value;
        string displayMember = ((GridComboBoxCellElement)this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewInfo.TableAddNewRow.Cells["colSubDisc"].CellElement).Text;

    }
}

Hope this helps. If you have other questions, do not hesitate to contact me again.
