How to add a Grid inside a cell

[Pavan Kandur]

Is it possible to add the cell type as grid.

I would like to display an information like this,like adding pincodes to the state. 

The issue is list of pincode entries is not known (for e.g) , we keep adding. 

I will not be able to add an entry for each pin.

So it would be great if you provide a means on how to use the grouping grid control , in which 

a the cell of a particular row can have editable grid / list.  What is the clean way to implement this.

Multiline text editing is not user friendly for pincodes column. So Please tell me how do we do this.

State Pincodes

         60001

TN    60002

         60003

         60004

        40001

AP   40002

        40003

Hi Pavan, 

Thanks for using Syncfusion product. 

You can achieve your desired behavior by adding the GridControl to the cell using QueryCellStyleInfo event and set the cell type as Control. Set unique GridControl objects for each cell and save/load them respectively. 

C# 

this.gridGroupingControl1.Table.DefaultRecordRowHeight = 120; 

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns.Add("SampleData"); 

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.VisibleColumns.Add("SampleData"); 

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[3].Width = 80; 

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["SampleData"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = "Control"; 

this.gridGroupingControl1.QueryCellStyleInfo += GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo; 

private void GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e) 

{ 

    if (e.Style.CellType == "Control" && e.Style.Control == null) //e.TableCellIdentity.ColIndex == 4 also works 

    { 

        var gc = GetGridControl(e.TableCellIdentity.RowIndex); 

        gc.CurrentCellEditingComplete += Gc_CurrentCellEditingComplete; 

        gc.CurrentCellKeyDown += Gc_CurrentCellKeyDown; 

        e.Style.Control = gc; 

    } 

}
