Is possible show custom popup window in GridViewBrowseColumn ?

[George]

Hello Jeongmin,

Thank you for contacting us.

You can show a custom popup by creating your own GridBrowseEditor. Then you can customize the behavior when the button is in the editor is clicked. A sample implementation of the editor looks like this:

public class MyBrowseEditor : GridBrowseEditor
{
    protected override RadElement CreateEditorElement()
    {
        return new MyRadBrowseEditorElement();
    }
}

public class MyRadBrowseEditorElement : GridBrowseEditorElement
{
    protected override void InitializeDialog()
    {
        return;
        //base.InitializeDialog();
    }

    protected override void OnBrowseButtonClick(EventArgs e)
    {
       return;
       //base.OnBrowseButtonClick(e);
    }
}

And the usage:

void grid_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    bool isGridBrowseEditor = e.EditorType == typeof(GridBrowseEditor);
    if (isGridBrowseEditor)
    {
        e.EditorType = typeof(MyBrowseEditor);
        e.Editor = new MyBrowseEditor();
    }
}

You can do whatever suits your needs best in the InitializeDialog and OnBrowseButtonClick methods.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know.

Hello Mahsan,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

It is necessary to determine which custom pop up should be displayed according to the current GridViewBrowseColumn. Here is a sample code snippet, demonstrating how to show three different pop ups, depending on the currently editing cell's column: 

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    GridViewBrowseColumn column1 = new GridViewBrowseColumn("First Browse Column");
    this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(column1);

    GridViewBrowseColumn column2 = new GridViewBrowseColumn("Second Browse Column");
    this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(column2);

    GridViewBrowseColumn column3 = new GridViewBrowseColumn("Third Browse Column");
    this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(column3);

    this.radGridView1.EditorRequired += radGridView1_EditorRequired;
}

private void radGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    GridViewEditManager editManager = sender as GridViewEditManager;
    bool isGridBrowseEditor = e.EditorType == typeof(GridBrowseEditor);
    if (isGridBrowseEditor)
    {
        e.Editor = new MyBrowseEditor(editManager.GridViewElement.CurrentColumn.Name);
    }
}

public class MyBrowseEditor : GridBrowseEditor
{
    private string editorColumnName;

    public MyBrowseEditor(string columnName) : base()
    {
        this.editorColumnName = columnName;
    }

    protected override RadElement CreateEditorElement()
    {
        return new MyRadBrowseEditorElement(editorColumnName);
    }
}

public class MyRadBrowseEditorElement : GridBrowseEditorElement
{
    private string editorElementColumnName;

    public MyRadBrowseEditorElement(string editorColumnName) : base()
    {
        this.editorElementColumnName = editorColumnName;
    }

    protected override void OnBrowseButtonClick(EventArgs e)
    {
        //base.OnBrowseButtonClick(e);
        if (editorElementColumnName == "First Browse Column")
        {
            new FirstForm().Show();
        }
        else if (editorElementColumnName == "Second Browse Column")
        {
            new SecondForm().Show();
        }
        else
        {
            new ThirdForm().Show();
        }
    }
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.

Hello Desislava Thank you for the reply, I do it and It works.but know I have another question, I have a grid in which has a column for part code, the user must be able to select partcode so I decided to use GridViewMultiComboBoxColumn the MultiComboBox show 4 column,PartId,PartCode,PartName,UnitName and Descr (Part Id Is Invisible),by default user can filter the MultiComboBox by PartCode ,but the user needed to be able to filter it by PartName or UnitName or Descr ,so  by  using EditorControl_CustomFiltering () and
getting the CurrenColumn of the RadMultiColumnComboBoxElement I set the filter maually ,so when the user click on each column of the MultiComboBox he can change the filter.
This solution works for me but I want to have stronger and more flexible filtering for GridViewMultiComboBoxColumn as the result of this I 
want to use GridViewBrowseColumn and open a Searchform OnBrowseButtonClick() which in Searchform is a grid and the grid shows parts information (PartId,PartCode,PartName,UnitName and Descr (Part Id Is Invisible))  so in this form user can make complex and nested filtering and at last select a partcode
but I dont know how return the information of selected partcode to the main form and I want to  bound the GridViewBrowseColumn 
with part 
 .please help me to solve this problem.

Best Regard,
 Mahsan

Hello Mahsan,

Thank you for writing back.

Currently you can filter in RadMultiColumnComboBox only by setting the AutoFilter property. You can find more information in the "Multicolumncombox filtering in gridview" forum thread how to implement filtering in GridViewMultiComboBoxColumn. We have already a Feature Request, logged in our Public Issue Tracking System - PITS about this topic. You can track its progress, subscribe for status changes and add your vote/comment to it on the referred link.

As to the question about how to get the filtered data collection and to pass it as parameter to the search form, you may have a look at our Rows vs ChildRows help article, which may guide you to achieve the desired behavior.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions.

Hello 

What is GridBrowseEditorElement namespace? 

[Dess | Tech Support Engineer, Principal]

Hello, Reyhane,    

Since R2 2018 GridBrowseEditor uses RadBrowseEditorElement because the GridBrowseEditorElement was obsolete since Q1 2016. Feel free to use the RadBrowseEditorElement instead.

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

          {
              if (editorElementColumnName == "GetDate" )
              {

                  GetValueFrm getValue = new GetValueFrm(Onvan, 3, false);
                  getValue.ShowDialog();

                  int currentcol = radGridView1.CurrentColumn.Index;
                  int currentrow = radGridView1.CurrentRow.Index;

                      radGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells["GetDate"].Value = getValue.SearchValue;
                      radGridView1.CurrentRow = radGridView1.Rows[currentrow];
                      radGridView1.CurrentColumn = radGridView1.Columns[currentcol + 1];
                      radGridView1.CurrentCell.IsSelected = true;
                  }
              }

          }

I found this question's answer :)

[Dess | Tech Support Engineer, Principal]

Hello, Reyhane,     

I am glad that you have found a solution for your case. However, I would like to share that the easiest way to access the RadGridView control in the OnBrowseButtonClick method of your custom RadBrowseEditorElement is by accessing the Parent which is actually the GridBrowseCellElement which GridControl property refers to the RadGridView itself:

                GridBrowseCellElement cell= this.Parent as GridBrowseCellElement;
                RadGridView grid= cell.GridControl; 

Should you have further questions please let me know.
