Wincontrols: Combobox in Grid

[Dimple]

Hi,

Is it possible to allow combobox in grid instead of textbox? I saw demo with spinner, calendar but couldn't find any example showing combobox inside grid.

Thanks,
Dimple

Hello DKP,

Yes, it is possible to have a combobox editor in our grid, but this is demonstrated in the "Events" example. To achieve this, you should add a column of GridViewComboBoxColumn type to the Columns collection of the grid. Then you have to set its DataField property to the field of the data source that should be displayed. Also, you have to set its DataSource and eventually DisplayMember and ValueMember properties to fill the drop-down list of the combobox editor.

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to write us.

All the best,

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Pooya,

Thank you for writing back.

Binding a RadGridView to a list of items means that you will be editing or showing (Read Only) the properties of each item of the list. If you have a combo box column field you will be editing this field which is not a very common case. If you want to edit a text field (or another type of field) with a combo box then you can achieve this in two ways:
1. You can add a Combo box column to the grid and set it's FieldName property to the property you want to edit.
2. You can change the editor used for editing a particular cell through the CellEditorRequired event.

I hope this will be useful. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
