RadDropDownButton auto opening on focus

[Federico Gubellini]

Hello,

I'm using a RadDropDownButton as Editor inside a RadGridView cell. I have to display the DropDownContent when the cell enters in edit mode.

I've tryied to set the RadDropDownButton IsOpen property to "True" on the RadDropDownButton GotFocus event, but the RadDropDownButton immediatly closes its DropDownContent.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Federico,

Could you please clarify how exactly you've defined your column - are you using the CellEditTemplate property or have defined a custom column as demonstrated in this article?

I tried defining the following CellEditTemplate for the column which seems to provide the desired result at my end:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}">
    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <telerik:RadDropDownButton IsOpen="True" KeepOpen="True" Content="{Binding Name}">
                <telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent>
                    <TextBlock Text="Some Text" />
                </telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent>
            </telerik:RadDropDownButton>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

Could you please give this a try and let me know if this would work for you? I look forward to your reply.

Hello Dilyan,

I was missing the "KeepOpen" property. Having set that property, it works fine.

Thank you.
