GridViewComboBoxColumn retaining value after leaving row

[Alfred Ortega]

I have a simple grid in which one of the columns is a drop down to a reference table.  I get them both to bind fine but when I leave the dropdown box it returns to it's original value.  Textbox columns work just fine.

I am dynamically creating all the columns including the drop down:

GridViewLookUpColumn jurisComboBoxColumn = new
GridViewLookUpColumn();

jurisComboBoxColumn.HeaderText = "MISSO";
jurisComboBoxColumn.Width = 100;
jurisComboBoxColumn.FieldName = "JurisdictionID";
jurisComboBoxColumn.DataSource = _jurisCodes;
jurisComboBoxColumn.ValueMember = "ID";
jurisComboBoxColumn.DisplayMember = "Name";
jurisComboBoxColumn.UniqueName = "jurisComboBox";
userListGridView.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Add(jurisComboBoxColumn);

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,
Al

Hello Rehan ,

Thank you for writing.

The behavior you described is a known issue in the Q1 2008 release. It has already been addressed in the last release - Q1 2008 Service Pack 1. Service Pack 1 contains a number of improvements and fixes and I highly recommend using it.

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

dear i m already using Q1 SP1 .. bt facing the same problem .. if u could say i can attach you a sample code ?

[Martin Vasilev]

Hello Rehan ,

Thank you for getting back to me.

The reason for the described behavior could be pointing to a non-existent column in the FieldName property. Please, check carefully the databinding and the value of the FieldName property of your LookupColumn. It should refer to a column in the main DataTable, which is bound to the RadGridView.

If you need additional assistance, do not hesitate to contact me again.

Hi,
We are also facing the same issue. We are using Q1 2001 SP1. We have a RadgridView with GridViewComboBoxColumn. When we select an item in the comboBox and moves the focus to other column, ComboBox becomes blank! Pls help..

Hello Hareesh,

Thank you for contacting us.

Are you using Q1 2011 SP1 version? The issue in question is not present in the latest versions of RadControls if your combo-box column is set up correctly.

If you still experience any issues, I would like to kindly ask you to open an new support ticket and send us a small sample project, which demonstrates your scenario. This will allow to investigate your particular case and provide you with accurate assistance.
