GridDropDownColumn prevents data population

[AJ]

I'm using Q1 of 2009 version of Telerik tools. Specifcally, I have a seriously of nested RadGrids which have some dropdown boxes populated from an SQLDataSource.

Everything works fine until I try to resize the width of the dropdown box using the columneditorid tag.
Once I attach the columneditorid, the drop down list in edit/insert mode, no longer populates on load, I have to hit the grid refresh button to bind the data items.

Is there any way around this, or another way to resize the dropdown box in edit mode? Thanks

Hello AJ,

I guess you are using GridDropDownColumn in inner RadGrid. If so try the following code snippet.

ASPX:

<NestedViewTemplate>
    <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid2" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2"
        OnItemDataBound="RadGrid2_ItemDataBound">
        <MasterTableView>
            <Columns>
                <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                <telerik:GridDropDownColumn DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataField="EmployeeID"
                    ListTextField="EmployeeID" ListValueField="EmployeeID" UniqueName="GridDropDownColumn">
                </telerik:GridDropDownColumn>
            </Columns>
        </MasterTableView>
    </telerik:RadGrid>
</NestedViewTemplate>

C#:

protected void RadGrid2_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
       {
           GridEditFormItem editItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
           RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)editItem["GridDropDownColumn"].Controls[0];
           combo.Width = Unit.Pixel(200);
       }
   }

Thanks,
Princy.
