[Solved] GridViewComboBoxColumn Validation Gfx

[Phillip Garrett]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with the default validation graphics that come with GridViewComboBoxColumn.

There appears to be two validation red outlines rendered on the grid (see attached image).

Is there a way to supress this? as it looks untidy

Thanks,

Phill

I've managed to avoid this graphical duplication by handeling the error myself.

<telerik:RadGridView CellValidating="CellValidating" />

private void CellValidating(object sender, GridViewCellValidatingEventArgs e)
{
  e.IsValid = true;
  if (e.NewValue == null)
  {
    e.IsValid = false;
    e.ErrorMessage = "A valid entry is required";
  }
}

This overwrites whatever gets auto generated on a binding error due to invalid entries - and only one validation graphic is rendered (see attached image).

Would be nice if I didn't have to do this tho, and it worked out of the box :)

Regards,

Phill

Hello Phillip Garrett,

Indeed this one possible and very nice solution, however you can download our latest internal build (uploaded on 3 Sep 2010), since this issue is already fixed.
Let me know how it works on your end.
