ReBind ComboBox from DataGrid when in Insert Mode

[Tom]

Hi, I have a RadGrid bringing data back from the database. When I add a new Item I have several ComboBoxes. The first is populated when the EditForm opens. I next want to bind the next ComboBox with the selected value of the first ComboBox when the selected value changes. How do I do it?

I have another 3 ComboBoxes (not shown yet) that will continue in the same way as each selected value changes.
