Hi Moustafa,

Solution 1:

SfDataGrid provides support for various built-in column types as GridComboBoxColumn. The GridComboBoxColumn derived from GridColumn which hosts ComboBox as edit element. For more information related to GridComboBoxColumn, please refer the below user guide documentation link,

Solution 2:


Your requirement to have a column that has a combobox that acts like ComboBoxAdv in SfDataGrid can be achieved by load the ComboBoxAdv as CellTemplate in GridTemplateColumn. Please refer to the below code snippet,


<syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn MappingName="Children" HeaderText="Children">

                    <syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>

                        <DataTemplate>

                            <syncfusion:ComboBoxAdv ItemsSource="{Binding Persons,Source={StaticResource viewModel}}"

                                                    DisplayMemberPath="Name" 

                                                    AllowMultiSelect="True"

                                                    AllowSelectAll="True"

                                                    SelectedValueDelimiter=";"

                                                    IsEditable="True"

                                                    DefaultText="Select Childred..."

                                                    SelectedValuePath="Id" />

                        </DataTemplate>

                    </syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>

</syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn>

Hi Vijayarasan,


I am hoping to get autocomplete and filtering but apparently ComboboxAdv does not support this either. Is there any way to have a combobox column with autocomplete and filtering for the list I select from?

Hi Moustafa,

Your requirement to perform the autocomplete and filtering in ComboBoxAdv by enabling the EnableToken property and AutoCompleteMode as Suggest in ComboBoxAdv. Please refer to the below code snippet,

<syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn  MappingName="Children" Width="200" AllowFiltering="True"  TextWrapping="Wrap" HeaderText="Children" AllowEditing="True" >                  

                    <syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>

                        <DataTemplate>

                            <syncfusion:ComboBoxAdv ItemsSource="{Binding Persons,Source={StaticResource viewModel}}"

                                                    DisplayMemberPath="Name" 

                                                    AllowMultiSelect="True"

                                                    AllowSelectAll="True"

                                                    AutoCompleteMode="Suggest"

                                                    SelectedValueDelimiter=";"

                                                    SelectionChanged="OnSelectionChanged"

                                                    IsEditable="True"

                                                    EnableToken="true"

                                                    DefaultText="Select Childred..."

                                                    SelectedValuePath="Id"                                                    

                                                    

                                                    />

                        </DataTemplate>
