gridDataBoundGrid - using as a databound list box

Hi, I want to create a control from gridDataBoundGrid, which will give me similer functionality like a list box(same properties and events). This is because, when no of datarows are more(50K), I observed grid to be faster than listbox. Do we have any such control in place? Or just tell me how to remove all columns headers from gridDataBoundGrid. I will keep asking if i get any more doubts in this custom control creation process..thank you in advance. Rgds Rajani Kanth

Hi Badri, You can use a GridListControl like a list box. Refer the sample in Syncfusion\Essential Studio\3.3.0.0\windows\Grid.Windows\Samples\Quick Start\GridListControlSample\ to know about GridListControl. By setting this.gridListControl1.ShowColumnHeader = false; and the this.gridListControl1.MultiColumn = false; you can make it similar like a list box. To hide the headers in the GridDataBoundGrid, set this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model.Cols.Hidden[0] = true; this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model.Rows.Hidden[0] = true; Best Regards, Calvin.

Cool, I am actually working with that. The one main problem i have with that control is NOT having SelectedItems collection. As my user can select any no of items, i need to have a SelectedItems collection which can me Count and All selected objects. Any input plz?

Hi, In addition, we dont have SelectedIndices also. I am using Grid.Selections.Count for SelectedItems.Count. But, when selected items are many, i have problems..

Hi, Ideally I want to store and retrieve daraRows/dataRowViews and retrieve the same from GridListControl. If i just go by text property, i can have many duplicates.

Hi, I am trying with below code. Is this OK? foreach(Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridRangeInfo range in list) { for(int i = range.Top; i <= range.Bottom; i++) { DataRowView dataRowView = this.gridListControl1.Items[i-1] as DataRowView; string firstName = dataRowView.Row["FirstName"].ToString(); //DisplayMember string lastName = dataRowView.Row["LastName"].ToString(); //ValueMember System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(firstName + ":" + lastName); } } .. Plz confirm.. Rgds Rajani Kanth >Hi, >Ideally I want to store and retrieve daraRows/dataRowViews and retrieve the same from GridListControl.

Hi Badri, Yes, you can retrieve the selected rows as mentioned and you can also add a row to the grid by just adding it to the Table. Below is the code snippet. DataTable dt = (DataTable)this.gridListControl1.DataSource; DataRow dr = dt.NewRow(); dr[0]="John"; dr[1]="Knox"; dt.Rows.Add(dr); Regards, Calvin.
