GridDataBoundGrid - How to get value of ComboBox in different column

[Clive Hill]

Hi,

When editing a cell in a GridDataBoundGrid, i need to get the value of the selected item in a ComboBox of a cell in a different column but same row. To do this I assume I need to get a reference to GridComboBoxCellRenderer.

I can''t see how to get this reference. I can get the GridStyleInfo like:

GridStyleInfo style = dataGrid[cc.RowIndex,cc.ColIndex-1];

but the GridComboBoxCellRenderer?

Hi Vito,

You can use the GetCellRenderer method to get the reference to the GridComboBoxCellRenderer in a grid and use the ListBoxPart.SelectedItem property to get the selected item of the combo box cell. Below is a code snippet

GridCurrentCell cc = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.CurrentCell;
GridStyleInfo style = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model[cc.RowIndex,5];
GridComboBoxCellRenderer cr = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.GetCellRenderer( cc.RowIndex,5) as GridComboBoxCellRenderer;

if( cr != null)
{
DataRowView row = cr.ListBoxPart.SelectedItem as DataRowView;
Console.WriteLine( ":::"+ row[0] + ">>>" + style.CellValue );
}

Thanks,
Haneef
