GridViewComboBox vs Combobox IsReadOnly

[Michael]

I'd like to duplicate the functionality of the Combobox in the grid. If IsComboBoxEditable is set to True and is IsReadOnly is set to True, it disable selecting anything in the column. What i really want is the ComboBox behavior IsEditable="True" IsReadOnly="True" allows you to type but only will select value rows.

How do I accomplish this?

*only select "valid" rows. If the value isn't in the list, you can't type those letters. Just like the ComboBox Edit Mode demo.

Hello Michael,

A way of achieving this is by following these steps:

1.   Define a style as a static resource which targets RadComboBox:

<Style x:Key="comboStyle"
       TargetType="telerik:RadComboBox">
    <Setter Property="IsEditable"
            Value="True"/>
    <Setter Property="IsReadOnly"
            Value="True"/>
</Style>

2.   Apply the style to the editor of GridViewComboBoxColumn through the EditorStyle property:

<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"
                                IsComboBoxEditable="True"
                                ItemsSource="{Binding Players}"
                                EditorStyle="{StaticResource comboStyle}"/>

Please, give the approach a try and let me know how it works for you.
