change dropdown list content based on current record.

[Michael Gutkin]

I need to change a content of dropdown list in my grouping control based on the current record.
Here is what I did:
1. I bound dropDown list column for each group level to listSource
grid.Engine.SourceListSet.Add("UserActions", dvActions);
2. Added myControlo_TableControlCurrentCellShowingDropDown event to catch when user clicks the dropdown.
3. use CurrentCell value in the event to identify what control (what column) was clicked.
int ColIndex = ((Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridGroupingControl)(sender)).TableControl.CurrentCell.ColIndex;

5. Use ColIndex to identify column name to decide what function to call for the given control.

string tableName = ((GridTableControlCurrentCellShowingDropDownEventArgs)e).TableControl.Table.CurrentRecord.ParentChildTable.Name;

string colName = ((Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridGroupingControl)(sender)).GetTableDescriptor(tableName).Columns[ColIndex].Name;

6. change Filter value based on the current record and clicked control:
string filerValue ="RuleID = ''" + ((Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridGroupingControl)(sender)).Table.CurrentRecord.GetValue("_ruleID").ToString() + "''";
dvActions.RowFilter = filerValue;

My problem is that ColIndex value not always what I expect it would be. Therefor colIndex translation to column name not always work!!!
Does anybody knows how to convert current cell index to a currect datacolumn index???

Hi Michael,

Use this code snippet to get the current column information in TableControlCurrentCellShowingDropDown event.

int index = e.TableControl.TableDescriptor.ColIndexToField(e.TableControl.CurrentCell.ColIndex);

Console.WriteLine("Current Column Name : " + e.TableControl.TableDescriptor.VisibleColumns[index].Name );
