PopupControlContainer & GridDataBoundGrid w/ ComboBox cell type

[Sean Greer]

I'm attempting to place a GridDataBoundGrid that has a ComboBox cell type in a PopupControlContainer. The problem that I'm running into is that when the combobox is dropped down the PopupControlContainer closes. I've tried using the CustomPopupControlContainer sample that I found on this web site, but it doesn't resolve the problem. My question is whether IPopupParent will provide a solution to this problem?

Thanks,

Hi Sean,

We apologize for the delay in responding to your question. We got severely paralyzed by the Ice Storm last week.

Anyway, I am attaching a sample that has a Grid in a PopupControlContainer that also has a combo in it's cell. Look for "SF Comments" in the Form source for how this sample lets you workaround the problem you describe.

Praveen,

The problem is that I was using a PopupControlContainer and not a GridDropDownContainer, as your sample uses. I have made this change and it is now working properly.

Is the GridDropDownContainer a new control, or is there some reason it does not show up in my Toolbox?

Sean,

We will document GridDropDownContainer better and then make it available in the Toolbox. We apologize for the inconvenience.
