Styling ColumnEditor

[Rayne]

I am using a drop down column in my grid. I used a Column Editor to set the width of the drop down used in edit mode. Setting the width works, but...

I want to set the control style of my column to a RadComboBox, but I want the control to use a different skin from the grid. So I set the ComboBoxControl-Skin on the ColumnEditor. 

This doesn't work. I get an error on the page: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Is there a way to get this to work? I can use a dropdown list and a form decorator, but it doesn't give me quite the same look.

Hi Rayne,

Please try the following code snippet to apply skin to the GridDropDownColumn in edit mode.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn UniqueName="ShipCity" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DropDownControlType="RadComboBox" SortExpression="ShipCity" ListTextField="ShipCity" ListValueField="ShipCity"   HeaderText="ShipCity" DataField="ShipCity" />

C#:

protected void myRadGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
       {
           GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
           GridEditManager editMan = editedItem.EditManager;
           GridDropDownListColumnEditor editor = editMan.GetColumnEditor("ShipCity") as GridDropDownListColumnEditor;
           editor.ComboBoxControl.Width = Unit.Pixel(100);
           editor.ComboBoxControl.Skin = "Black";
       }
   }

Hope this helps,else please provide your code snippet.

Thanks,
Princy
