[Solved] RadGridView ComboBox with mutliple display values

[Jay]

I’m using the Silverlight Q3 2010 controls.

When editing within a RadGridView there are some columns that I would like to use a combobox that has multiple display values, much like a grid.  Is this possible or does anybody have a solution?

If this question has already been asked, I apologize in advance.  I could not find an answer.

Thank you.

Hello Jay,

You may try to define the ItemTemplate of the GridViewComboBoxColumn. Additional information may be found in our online documentation.
Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Your suggested solution is really close except that it places both values in the grid when all I really want is one of the values.  Example:

Let’s say I want the grid to display:

Vehicle  Color
---------------------
Ford  R
Chevy  G
Toyota  W

When editing a record, I want to place a combo box on “Color” that looks like

R Red
G Green
W White
Y Yellow

With the solution you provided by Grid ends up looking like:

Vehicle  Color
---------------------
Ford  R Red
Chevy  G Green
Toyota  W White

Is there any way to have the combo box display extra values only when actually changing the cell?

Hi Jay,

You may define the EditorStyle of the GridViewComboBoxColumn. I am sending you a sample project illustrating the proposed solution.
