grid cell controls

[Administrator]

Hi,

is there a way in a GridDataBoundGrid to have different cells of the same column have a different control, i.e. one free text box and another a combo box?

Hi Charbel,

The attached sample shows you how to put different controls into same column in a grid. You will learn how to put pushbutton’s, comboboxes and textboxes into cells. You can handle the Model_QueryCellInfo event of the grid model and set the e.Style.CellType to some new control to want to display. Below is a code snippet.

private void Model_QueryCellInfo(object sender, GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e)
{
if( e.ColIndex == 3 && e.RowIndex > 0 )
{
switch(e.RowIndex % 3)
{
case 0://ComboBox
e.Style.CellType = "ComboBox";
e.Style.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue;
e.Style.DataSource = GetChildTable();
e.Style.ValueMember = "Name";
break;
case 1://Button CellType
e.Style.CellType = "PushButton";
e.Style.Description = e.Style.Text;
e.Style.Themed = true;
break;
default://TextBox
e.Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
break;
}
}
}

Here is Sample.
