Does GridMultiColumnDropDownList exist in winforms sfDatagrid

[Frank]

Hello,

In wpf sfDatgrid the GridMultiColumnDropDownList does exist.

It's very nice because you select a name for example and in the background it binds the phonenumber from that name.

Hi Frank,

SfDataGrid does not contain the support for the GridMultiColumnDropDownList column in WinForms. However, your requirement to select a name for example, and in the background it binds the phone number from that name in SfDataGrid can be achieved using GridComboBoxColumn. Refer to the below code snippet,

this.sfDataGrid1.Columns.Add(new GridComboBoxColumn()

{

    MappingName = "CustomerID",

    HeaderText = "Name",

    // Display the Name that equals of PhoneNumber

    DisplayMember = "Name",

    // Bind the phonenumber value

    ValueMember = "PhoneNumber",

    //Assign data source to SfDataGrid

    DataSource = orderInfo.ShipCityDetails

});

Hello Vijayarasan,

I've made a grid with these two columns.
One normal column and one GridComboBoxColumn.

When I debug the app and select a BuySideFirm( Just a name) then the first columns gets populated with the BuySideLei (as expected) but the GridComboBoxColumn changes from the BuySideFirm to the BuySideLei

Is that expected ? I'd like to keep the BuySideFirm in the GridComboBoxColumn

 this.sfDataGrid1.Columns.Add(new GridNumericColumn() { MappingName = "BuySideLei", HeaderText = "BuySideLei" });
sfDataGrid1.Columns.Add(new GridComboBoxColumn()

            {
                MinimumWidth= 250,
                MappingName = "BuySideLei",  // Lei
                HeaderText = "BuySide",
                DisplayMember = "BuySideFirm", // Display the firm that equals the Lei
                ValueMember = "BuySideLei", // Bind the Lei
                DataSource = buysideCollection.BuySideList,
            });
