Hi Mathan lal,

Can  you please give me some more details on your scenario including where should the combo be placed  - the column headers, the groupPanel etc.  What data do you need displayed in the combo and what action should it perform on changing selected items.

This will be of great help for me to provide a working sample.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

Here we need to show a combobox in a RadGrid Header column.

ie. We are having five columns in a grid. The columns are Start Date, End Date, Description, YTD and Type.

In the above header columns, the YTD column header (not in the rows) should be shown as a combobox and the user can select any item (like YTD, QTD and MTD) from the combobox. Based on the selection, the column value will be calculated and displayed.

We tried with the CellTemplate but it is showing in the row not in the header.

Please let us know how we can achieve this.

Hello Mathan lal,

GridViewDataColumn has a Header property. You may set the header to be a ComboBox the following way :

<

telerik:GridViewDataColumn ..... >

 

 

    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>

 

 

        <ComboBox HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="20" />

 

 

    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>

 

 

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

 

In case you have further difficulties or questions while implementing your scenario don't hesitate to contact me.

Best wishes,

I tried it out for a RadGridView
        <telerikGridView:RadGridView x:Name="contactsRadGridView"  IsReadOnly="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" ColumnsWidthMode="Fill" Grid.ColumnSpan="2">
                    <telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>
                        <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn>
                            <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                                <ComboBox HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="20" />
                            </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                        </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn>
                        <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Name"   />
                        <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Phone No"   /> 
                   </telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>
                </telerikGridView:RadGridView>

I am getting an error

The attachable property 'Header' was not found in type 'GridViewDataColumn'.

Hello Justin,

Do you have our latest version? This property was introduced for Q1 2009 SP1.

I hate to dredge this up but I am getting the same error message when I try to use the GridViewDataColumn.Header tag. And my version is Q3 2009 SP2. I am trying to duplicate the example in one of the demos. Any thoughts on why I might be getting this?
