multiselect column in datagrid

Dear,Is it possible to have a multiselect dropdown column in a SfDataGrid? I have a class MyClass that I would like to show in a datagrid with columns "Name" and "Types", where the "Types" column is a multiselect listbox/dropdown...class MyClass {  public int Id { get; set; }
  public string name {get; set;}
  public virtual ICollection(MyClassType) Types {get; set;}}class MyClassType {  public int Id { get; set; }
  public string name {get; set;}  public virtual ICollection(MyClass) Classes {get; set;}}How can I do this in WPF?Thanks,Koen

Hi Koen, We regret for the inconvenience. You can achieve your requirement to select multi values from the dropdown for the collection in the underlying data object by using GridTemplateColumn with ComboBoxAdv as CellTemplate as shown in the following code example.

You can achieve your requirement to select multi values from the dropdown for the collection in the underlying data object by using GridTemplateColumn with ComboBoxAdv as CellTemplate as shown in the following code example.

Code example :

<syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn MappingName="ShipCities">

<syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>

<syncfusion:ComboBoxAdv ItemsSource="{Binding Cities, Source={StaticResource viewModel},UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"

DisplayMemberPath="ShipCityName"

SelectedValuePath="ShipCityName"

AllowMultiSelect="True"

SelectedItems="{Binding ShipCities, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/>

</DataTemplate>

</syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>

</syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn>

Hi Koen, 

Thanks for the update.  

We are little unclear with the reported problem and scenario. Kindly provide more details about the ItemsSource you have bounded to the SfDataGrid and the ComboBoxAdv and how you are populating the ItemsSource collections with complete code snippets and also provide the xaml and cs code snippets of creating SfDataGrid and GridTemplateColumn. These details will be more helpful for us to find the exact cause for the reported issue and to provide a prompt solution.
