How to implement dropdown list in a grid for kendoUI for angular. I can't find any documentation

[Tanuj]

I have just started with kendoUI. I need documentation or some example for reference to implement dropdown list in a grid

Hello Tanuj,

Depending on the purpose the DropDownList will be used for, the exact implementation will vary, but in all cases, the DropDownList can be provided in one of the various Grid templates:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/api/CellTemplateDirective/

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/api/EditTemplateDirective/

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/api/FilterCellTemplateDirective/

If the DropDownList will be used in Grid cells when the Grid is not in editing mode, it should be placed within the Cell template:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/editing/custom-reactive-editing/#toc-rendering-editors-in-the-cell-templates

If the DropDownList will be used for editing, it can be placed in the EditTemplate like in the following documentation example:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/editing/custom-reactive-editing/ (the category column is edited via a DropDownList)

If the DropDownList will be used as a custom filter, it should be placed within the FilterCell template:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/filtering/reusable-filter/

In this case the DropDownList could be placed directly in the template too (wrapping it in a reusable component is not required).

I hope this helps, but if the purpose of the DropDownList within the Grid will be different from the ones, listed above, please describe the scenario in further details, so we can try to provide a suggestion that would be most suitable to the specific use case. Thank you in advance.
