DropDownGridCell in GridDataBoundGrid

[kmdigliio]

I would like to use a pushbutton rather than the default dropdown button to drop down the grid. I am using the following code to create my DropDownGridCell mports System Imports System.Collections Imports System.ComponentModel Imports System.Diagnostics Imports System.Drawing Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports System.Text Imports System.Runtime.Serialization Imports Syncfusion.Diagnostics Imports Syncfusion.Windows.Forms Imports Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid ''/

What is not working for you?

I was able to display a pushbutton in the grid\Sample\In Depth\DropdownGrid sample by changing the button in the Renderer constructor the same as you. If you wantto set More... as the text, you need to set the button.Text property.

Public Sub New(grid As GridControlBase, cellModel As GridCellModelBase)
      MyBase.New(grid, cellModel)
      Me.DisableTextBox = True
      DropDownButton = New GridCellButton(Me)
      DropDownButton.Text = "More..."
      Me._grid = Nothing
End Sub ''New

If you want to enlarge the button, you set the ButtonBar size in the CellModel constructor.

Public Sub New(grid As GridModel)
        MyBase.New(grid)
        ButtonBarSize = New Size(60, 20)
End Sub ''New
