DropDown Form not updating correctly

Question

I am implementing a DropDown Form on a DataBoundGrid, and I have followed the sample that is provided for DropDown Forms very closely.  

The first time through the DropDown Form everything works perfectly, and the cell IS updated.  But when I use the DropDown Form everytime after the first, the cell IS NOT updated.   Also when I re-enter the DropDown Form the the checkboxes reflect the correct changes but the cell does not.  For some reason the cell''s Text value is not being updated.  

I have tried a refresh to no avail. I am using version 3.2.1.0

Hi,

I tried to reproduce the mentioned issue in version 3.2.1.0 and I could not. I have attached a sample. Can you find any issue in that? If you can reproduce the issue in the attached sample and send it back, we can get back soon with a solution.

I found out that this behavior is caused by the following property change:

gridDataBoundGrid1.ActivateCurrentCellBehavior = GridCellActivateAction.SelectAll;

I was able to reproduce the error in your sample by adding in the above property change.  Is there a way around this?  I would still like to use the ''SelectAll'' property.

Hi,

In the DropDownFormCellRenderer''s OnButtonClicked, if you set the value string to both Style.Text and ControlText it will solve the issue. I have attached the sample.
Sample

this.Grid.Model[rowIndex, colIndex].Text = this.ddForm.GetValuesToString();
this.Grid.CurrentCell.Renderer.ControlText = this.ddForm.GetValuesToString();
