How can i bind to GridComboBoxColumn's ItemsSource (in SfDataGrid) in code behind.

[Om Thapa]

I need to bind to the GridComboBoxColumn ItemsSource in code behind. But I can't find a way to do it.

Is there a way to do it?

Hi Om,

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.

 

We have analysed your query. In code behind by using BindingOperations.SetBinding method you can bind the ItemsSource for GridComboBoxColumn. We have prepared a sample based on this and it can be downloaded from the following location.

Hi,

I am using the index binding as MappingName for a GridComboBoxColumn. And I need to get the item source from the same object I am bound to. But I can't figure out how to do it.

Scenario: I have a Customer object which has a dictionary containing cells. So, 

MappingName  is something like "Cells[CellName].Value". And the item source is also in the same object pointed by the binding "Cells[CellName].ComboBoxList".

I tried to use the BindingOperations, as you explained above but I don't have the source to bind to, as it is determined dynamically by the grid.

Thanks,

Om

Hi Om,

 

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

 

We have analyzed your query. You can not directly set the index binding as a ItemSource  for a GridComboBoxColumn. However you can achieve your requirement by writing the  Custom GridCellComboBoxRenderer class and override the OnInitializedEditElement method. We have prepared the sample based on this and please find the sample under the following location:
