this.popupControlContainerTextBox = new PopupControlContainer();
this.btnTextRangeOk = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
this.cmbValue = new ComboBox();


this.textRangeDropDownBarItem.PopupControlContainer = this.popupControlContainerTextBox; ///////


this.popupControlContainerTextBox.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
this.popupControlContainerTextBox.Controls.Add(this.btnTextRangeOk);
this.popupControlContainerTextBox.Controls.Add(this.rangeTextValue);
this.popupControlContainerTextBox.Controls.Add(this.rangeDoubleValue);
this.popupControlContainerTextBox.Controls.Add(this.cmbValue);
this.popupControlContainerTextBox.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(688, 40);
this.popupControlContainerTextBox.Name = "popupControlContainerTextBox";
this.popupControlContainerTextBox.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(136, 66);
this.popupControlContainerTextBox.TabIndex = 124;
this.popupControlContainerTextBox.TabStop = true;
this.m_editDropDownItem.Items.AddRange
(new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.XPMenus.BarItem[] { textRangeDropDownBarItem });


protected void popupGridMenu_BeforePopup(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.CancelMouseEventArgs e)
{

rangeDoubleValue.Visible = false;
cmbValue.Visible = false;


int row = CurrentCell.RowIndex;
int col = CurrentCell.ColIndex;
bool doubleColSelected = false;
GridRangeInfoList list;
this.Selections.GetSelectedRanges(out list, true);

// Check if range has been selected
bool rangeSelected = ( list.Count > 0 );
string coltype = m_document.GetColType( col);
if (coltype.Equals(typeof(double).ToString()))
{
doubleColSelected = true;
}

// Check if multiple cols selected
bool multiColsSelected = false;
foreach(GridRangeInfo range in list)
{
int leftColIndex = range.Left;
int rightColIndex = range.Right;
if ( leftColIndex != rightColIndex )
{
multiColsSelected = true;
break;
}
}
if ( doubleColSelected
&& ( ! multiColsSelected ))
{
textRangeDropDownBarItem.Visible = true;
rangeDoubleValue.Visible = true;
cmbValue.Visible = true;
}
if(this[row, col].CellType == "ComboBox")
{
textRangeDropDownBarItem.Visible = true;
cmbValue.Visible = true;
cmbValue.DataSource = this[row, col].DataSource;
cmbValue.DisplayMember = this[row, col].DisplayMember;
cmbValue.ValueMember = this[row, col].ValueMember;
cmbValue.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
}

}

Hi Ravi,

This is a known shortcoming in popupControlContainer, i.e., Two popups opened at the same time cannot respond properly to mouse messages.

I will update you with more details shortly.
