Virtual Grid ComboBox CellType

Hello. I''m facing the following problem : I have implemented a virtual DataGrid. I have defined into the QueryCellInfo handler that e.CellType="ComboBox" e.ValueType=typeof(string) when Im editing the edit portion of the ComboBox everything works fine, but when Im choosing among several options of the ComboBox''s dropdownlist then the edit portion is not updated (so the underlying dataset). 2. When I define int the ColStyles the following ColStyles[4].CellType="ComboBox"; ColStyles[4].Datasource=adatasource; COlStyles[4].DisplayMember="atable.afield"; the list portion of the combobox remains empty; Do you have any idea what is happening?

This is a GridControl, correct? Try this code. ColStyles[4].CellType = "ComboBox" ColStyles[4].Datasource = adatasource.Tables["atable"]; ColStyles[4].DisplayMember = "afield"; ColStyles[4].ValueMember = "afield";

Furthermore I''ve noticed that the selection bar of the cell''s combobox is trapped into the first option when i try to use down arrow. Is there any clue? Thank you very much Clay :)

Here is a sample that seems to work OK for me using 2.1.0.9. What are you doing differently? http://64.78.18.34/Support/Forums/Uploads/GC_Virt_Combo.zip
