    Hello Nasri,

    Please make sure that you have set the RadComboBox property AllowCustomText to true.

    Thanks,
    Shinu.

    Try the following code snippet  to achieve your requirment.
    C#:
    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
         if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)//Check for Edit mode. Here its InPlace.
            {
                GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
                RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)editItem["ColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
                combo.AllowCustomText = true;
            }
         }

    Hello Nasri,

    You can set the empty message by setting the EmptyMessage to the RadCombo.

    C#:
    if (e.Item is  GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)//Check for Edit mode. Here its InPlace.
            {
                GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
                RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)editItem["ColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
                combo.AllowCustomText = true;
                combo.EmptyMessage = "SelectOne";
            }

    Thanks,
    Shinu.
