Is it possible to format the selections in a GridViewComboBoxColumn so that different selections have different background colors, or other attributes for that matter?
For example,
1) Red - Red background
2) Green - Green background
3) Yellow - Yellow background
Thanks,
Ken...

Figured it out. An example is,
comboBoxColumn.DataSource = new string[] {
"",
"<html><span style=\"background-color:yellow;\"><strong>NA</strong> </span>",
"<html><span style=\"background-color:red;\"><strong>ANM</strong> </span>",
"<html><span style=\"background-color:green;\"><strong>VAL</strong> </span>"
};

Hello Kenneth,
The approach you use handles this particular case. In general, you can define the visual appearance of RadDropDownListEditor items handling the VisualItemFormatting event of RadDropDownListEditor's EditorElement as demonstrates in the following code snippet:
I hope it helps.

Thank you. This does work better in the general case.
Would you please explain the purpose of the tbSubscribed bool variable?
It is obviously from a larger code snippet, but I don't see what purpose it has. It doesn't appear to be applicable in this case.

Hello Kenneth,
The boolean flag has its purpose in this solution. As the Handling Editors' events help article explains:
'The editors in RadGridView are reused, so we define a field which prevents us from subscribing to the KeyDown more than once.'
In our case it means that the RadDropDownListEditor is created when first needed and then reused for the other cells of RadGridView. The flag prevents unneeded additional event subscriptions.
