Making DropdownGrid example behave like GDBGwithDropGrids

[James Tran]

The GDBGwithDropGrids example (see attachment) has a drop down grid that behaves like a combobox (click on selection, dropdown closes automatically, parent cell shows the selection). What would I need to do to make the DropdownGrid example have this behavior? The GDBGwithDropGrids example is too complex for me to understand. GDBGwithDropGrids_9344.zip

I think the cell you are talking about in the GDBGwithDropDowns is a GridListControl cell type. So, to get this cell control in any grid, you would set:

style.CellType = "GridListControl";
style.DataSource = someDatatable;
style.DisplayMember = somePropertyInTheDataTable;
style.ValueMember = someOtherPropertyInThedataTable;

You can see samples of the GridListControl dropdown cell in the grid\samples\celltypes\ComboBoxes folder.

With the GridListControl, can you give an example that does not use datasource and has more than 2 columns?

I got it working now. I thought you had to specify which columns in the datatable to display but it just displays everything.
