Three textboxes to edit one cell

[Alan]

Hi All,

We are currently writing a proposal and were wondering whether RadGridView supports the following functionality. We have a value that we want displayed in a cell within a grid, this value can be updated in three ways (a calculation will convert the value into the displayed value). To do this, we were hoping that the grid would let us click on the cell and display a popup overlay with three textboxes (and three labels), depending on which value the user modifies, the others are updated. The user interface would be something similar to what happens in teampulse:

Is this remotely possible?

Thanks,

Bump.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,

Hi Daryl,

You can accomplish this, with defining your own custom logic that will update (either through bindings, or manually) the business object properties since this cannot be integrated in the default Edditing mechanism of RadGridView. 

You can open the Popup on MouseLeftButtonDown/Up for RadGridView. You can get the cell that has been the source of the mouse event by using the e.OriginalSource property. 

Hope this helps.
