Update combo boxes value when its not in the datasource
I have a combo box and a grid. When you select a line on the grid, the combo box gets updated with its associated value. The only issue is if the value is not in the combo box datasource, it will not update. I had to populate only 100 lines in the combo box because the datasource is so large. How can I show the value in the combo box even though its not apart of the datasource. If they want to change it, thats ok, because i have filters on everything at that point. I just need it to show the value in the combo box. I tried bind value and value etc.. doesn't seem to work.. of course if its in the datasource it will show but thats not always the case. I managed to get this to work with a combo box inside a grid but i guess that was totally different.
Also I noticed when i click on a column in the grid which has allowediting to false. It will not activate the event RowSelecting="RowSelectingHandler". I need that to activate everytime someone clicks on a row to update the combo boxes above whether its read only or not. Is there a solution for this?
THanks

Hi Chris,
Greetings from Syncfusion support.
Query 1 : Update combo boxes value when its not in the datasource
We are validating the reported scenario. We will update further details within 2 business days(29th September,2020).
Query 2 : “I noticed when i click on a column in the grid which has allowediting to false. It will not activate the event RowSelecting="RowSelectingHandler"”
We have validated the reported query by preparing a sample with AllowEditing false for one column. RowSelecting event get triggered when selecting a record irrespective of the Grid column. Kindly download the sample from below which we have prepared suing our latest version 18.2.0.59.
After referring the sample, if you are still facing the issue. Kindly get back to us with following details.
· Share your grid code example along with event handler.
· Are you facing any exception / script error while selecting a record in Grid.
· Share your Syncfusion.Blazor Nuget package version details.
· Share your Application type (Blazor Server side) or Blazor WebAssembly
Above requested details will be very helpful for us to validate the reported query at our end and provide solution as early as possible.
Regards,
Sevvandhi N

Ok thanks. I looked at the code regarding the Row handler triggered when clicking on a row that doesn't allow editing and i'm not sure what is different and why mine doesnt work. Here is my grid below.. I also have a cellselecthandler to override the double click to single click not sure if that effects it.

Ok Thanks, I used cell event for now instead of the row event. This seems to work for when a column is readonly it still gets triggered.
Also is there an update for Query 1 : Update combo boxes value when its not in the datasource ?
How to set the value when its not in the datasource?

Additional Errors, not sure about these lambda expressions either, because it doesn't point to any specific line. as well as the rendertreebuilder error. I attached my entire code because there are several and i'm not sure why the grid events are not working either.

Ok, I updated all the other combo boxes with the proper signatures and my project is not complaining about those specific lines.. It was just confusing because it still has a red swiggly line under the line in question. Your project you sent me appears to also have it even though it compiles.

here is a screenshot of your project.

Update: I was able to compile my project by fixing the combo boxes, removed Expanded="false" from my treeview and added <TreeViewTemplates TValue="TreeViewItem">

Removed ExpandOn=@Expand function from my treeview on my Mainlayout.
Issue is now when I run my project and occasionally when I use the multi combo box in the grid, it changes the height and makes it smaller. Also my treeview glitches while expanding and click around. Some nodes tend to disappear and then come back.
Also when I first load, and after a few glitches i refresh the page i get this error

Hi Chris,
Query 1: “Issue is now when I run my project and occasionally when I use the multi combo box in the grid, it changes the height and makes it smaller. ”
From your query we understand that you are facing issue while editing a column in Grid with ComboBox control. We need some details to validate the reported query at our end. So kindly share the following details.
1. While changing the value in ComboBox, height of the Grid changes or height of the ComboBox?
2. Share your updated code example of Grid along with ComboBox control.
3. Share the video demonstration of the issue along with replication procedure.
4. If possible share the issue reproducible sample to validate the reported issue.
Above requested details will be helpful for us to validate the reported query at our end and provide solution as early as possible.
Query 2: Also my treeview glitches while expanding and click around. Some nodes tend to disappear and then come back.
Also when I first load, and after a few glitches i refresh the page i get this error.
We have checked your reported problem in TreeView component. We would like to let you know that, we have made some breaking changes in the TreeView component from the release version 18.3.0.35. We have renamed ExpandOnSettings Enum value into ExpandAction. Also, for rendering the custom templates in TreeView component, we need to set the TValue with a named model for the TreeViewTemplates tag in the TreeView component.

The issue persists with the tree view glitching, dissapearing and coming back. Also the grids Height changes when i'm editing lines such as in the combo box.
I have video that replicates both.

I have updated to the latest version of 18.3.0.38. The thing is, these issues i'm having were never an issue with the previous version of 2.0.58
Attachment: Issues_3ede14a4.zip
Regarding the height of the grid. I have another video that basically shows that if you have a grid height of 500px and your popupheight for a multicolumn combo box in the grid as a column has 100px.. If you try to filter and then select a value in that combo box , it will change the height of the grid to basically what the popupheight is for the combobox. everytime I change the height of the combo box it changes the height of the grid. I have a video that shows this happening.
Regarding the Treeview. I'm not sure if this is the intended functions. But I think the disappearing happens when allowdraganddrop is true. I don't remember it being this glitchy before in 2.0.58 but when you click around lots sometimes the node disappears i think because you may of unintentionally moved it. I can do it in the example you sent me.
I have attached two videos and my code.

I was able to get the grid height to change and also able to have the combo box stick.
Right now we are using sync controls and in order for us to purchase them, we want to make sure that all our requirements are being met. I'm finding a lot of little bugs or work arounds that I need to do but I appreciate the support and timely releases. It's just I need to find ways in order to prevent these things from happening.
