[ TypeScript ] Adding a pre-populated dropdownlist when editing a grid row

[David Sheardown]

Hi there,

I have tried to refer back to my essential JS 1 versions of applications for reference, however I am struggling to find how I can achieve the following in the new EJ2 grid component:

var paramTypesDropdown = [{ value: 'checkbox', text: 'checkbox' }, { value: 'string', text: 'string' }, { value: 'date', text: 'date' }, { value: 'datetime', text: 'datetime' }, { value: 'number', text: 'number' }, { value: 'decimal', text: 'decimal' }, { value: 'dropdown', text: 'dropdown' }, { value: 'dropdown-multiselect', text: 'dropdown-multiselect' }];

 $('#taskmanagementtaskparamsgrid').ejGrid({

            dataSource: data.items,

            // Sets the EDIT/ADD dropdownlist for multi choice fields

            actionComplete: function(args) {

                if (args.requestType == 'add') {

                    // Set the dropdown types

                  $('#taskmanagementtaskparamsgridparameterType').ejDropDownList({

                        dataSource: paramTypesDropdown,

                        selectedIndex: 1

               }

          // rest of code removed for brevity...

});

So as you can see, on the actionComplete (which I can now do in EJ2 thanks to a previous post), I refer to the grid and column name (JQuery selector back then) and assign a dropdownlist component with a pre-selected list.  This only needs to be shown in edit/add mode as I have seen examples of using a template.  Ideally I don't want to use the template option in this case.

Is there any way to render another EJ2 component in the grid column as above?

Many thanks in advance!

My apologies,

Because obviously the new version of EJ2/TypeScript is a little different, I think I have a slightly longer learning curve!

I found this:

http://ej2.syncfusion.com/15.4.17/documentation/grid/how-to.html?lang=typescript#cascading-dropdownlist-with-grid-editing

which of course handles/performs what I need to do!

I thought I would reply to help others if they happen to come across this :)
