GridViewComboBoxColumn

[Zerka]

Hi,

In my GridViewComboboxColumn, the display member is string and value is integer. User can do filtering. But the operations shown on this column in the filtering row are for integer instead for string (please see attachment). Can you please tell me how can I solve this?

The second problem is when I copy(either by context menu or ctrl + c) the combobox value, integer value is copying. I want to copy the text value. What is the best way to do? Can I get the display member? My copy/paste code is working fine with other columns. I only have problem with combobox columns.

Thanks

Regards

Hello Zerka,

Presently, this is a disadvantage of the filtering in GridViewComboBoxColumn. We will improve it in one of the next releases. I confirm that the copy-paste behavior is an issue in the latest release. I added it to our public issue tracking system. It will be addressed in one of the next releases.  In the meantime, you can use the ContextMenuOpening to achieve the desired behavior:

private void radGridView1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, ContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e)
{
    GridComboBoxCellElement comboBoxCell = e.ContextMenuProvider as GridComboBoxCellElement;

    if (comboBoxCell == null)
    {
        return;
    }

    string copyID = RadGridLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider.GetLocalizedString(RadGridStringId.CopyMenuItem);

    foreach (RadMenuItem item in e.ContextMenu.Items)
    {
        if (item.Name == copyID)
        {
            item.Click -= new EventHandler(copy_Click);
            item.Click += new EventHandler(copy_Click);
            break;
        }
    }
}

private void copy_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    PropertyInfo propertyInfo = typeof(RadGridViewElement).GetProperty("ClipboardObject",
        BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

    GridViewComboBoxColumn combColumn = this.radGridView1.CurrentColumn as GridViewComboBoxColumn;
    object value = combColumn.GetLookupValue(this.radGridView1.CurrentCell.Value);
    propertyInfo.SetValue(this.radGridView1.GridViewElement, value, null);

}

I updated your Telerik points.
