changing celltype dynamically

[vijayaraghavan]

I have a GDBG control. I need to change the celltype for each row based on a selection made in the contextmenu attached to the Grid. The celltype could be either a TextBox or a ComboBox Type. How can I change it. Please help me.

Hi Vijayaraghavan,

To set cell specific properties in a GridDataBoundGrid, you must catch the PrepareViewStyleInfo event (or Model.QueryCellInfo event). In your handler, you check ComboHashTable entries and set the e.Style.CellType to the value you want. Please refer to the attached sample for implementation.

Hi Haneef

On selection made in the context menu the entire row celltype is changed. How can I change a cell in a row to the specified celltype.

Thanks Haneef

I could change the celltype to Combo/Text. I assign the datasource as it has been given in the sample. But couldn't have the data populated in the Combo.

Please advise me how to do this.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Haneef

Thanks for your support. When changing the celltype dynamically to Combo/Text using context menu.It works. The celltype get changed but the datasource properties assigned does not populate values to the Combo.

I could not have that part working in the sample you provided as well. How can I go about doing that?

Thanks

Hi Vijayaraghavan,

Use the below code snippet to resolve the issue.

private void menuItem2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
GridCurrentCell cc =this.gridDataBoundGrid1.CurrentCell ;
ComboxHashTable[GetHashCode(cc.RowIndex,cc.ColIndex)] = true;
cc.IsModified = true;
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.RefreshRange( GridRangeInfo.Row(cc.RowIndex));
cc.EndEdit();
cc.MoveTo(cc.RowIndex,cc.ColIndex,GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus);
}

Here is a sample.

Hi Haneef

Thanks for you reply. I could not have the value displayed in the ComboBox when I dynamically change the cell to Combo. I assign the DataSource,DisplayMember,ValueMember but I couldn't have data shown in Combo. The cell gets changed to Combo but not populated with the assigned DataSource.

Sorry to trouble you much on this regard.

Thanks

Hi Haneef

Our scenario totally matches with the sample you provided. I am using Syncfusion 1.6.1.5 and I run your sample with just two references Syncfusion.Grid and Syncfusion.Shared.

Is this anything to do with not populating values in the Combo when cell style is changed in PrepareViewStyleInfo event and datasource is assigned.

Thanks

Hi Vijayaraghavan,

You can use the Model.TableStyle property to store the datasource of the cell in a grid and change the celltype of the cell using PrepareViewStyleInfo/Model.QueryCellInfo event. Please refer to the attached sample for implementation and let me know if this helps.
