Image in ComboBox in Grid?

[Philip]

I have a ComboBox defined in a grid column as follows:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="den_type_id" HeaderText="Den Type">
    <ItemStyle Width="175" />
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label Width="170" CssClass="gridDropDownLabel" runat="server" ID="lbl_den_type_id" Text='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "den_type_nm")%>' />
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <telerik:RadComboBox Width="170" MarkFirstMatch="true" Skin="scSkin" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" DataTextField="den_type_nm" DataValueField="den_type_id" DataSourceID="DenTypeDataSource" ID="dd_den_type_id" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%#Bind("den_type_id") %>' Text="Select a Type" />
    </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

I also have a function in the code behind that adds a row

    Private Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemDataBound
        If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditableItem AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode) Then
            Dim item As GridEditableItem = e.Item
            Dim combo As RadComboBox = item.FindControl("dd_den_ldr_id")

            combo.Items.Insert(0, New RadComboBoxItem("Select a Den Leader", "0"))
        End If
    End Sub

Is there a way to add an image to each item so that there's text + image? In the demos, they use ImagePath, but I can't figure out if this property is available when using the combobox in a grid column. Thanks.

hmmm...I was actually able to do it with an ItemTemplate for the ComboBox :)

Didn't think that would work, but it did. I did lose my mouse over styling, so I'll have to add that back in manually. Pretty cool :)

I have images and text appearing in my combobox items as well using <ItemTemplate>. Is there a way after I select an item that the selected item has an image and text as well? At the moment when I select an item I only see text appearing as defined by the DataTextField property.

Thanks

Hello Duc,

I am afraid this is not possible.
