CellType = "DropDownGrid"

[Kwabena Barwuah-Manu]

Hi,

When I set CellType = "DropDownGrid" can I supply another grid other than the grid itself?
I want to show my own drop down grid when I click on the combobox that is different from the current grid or the grid hosting the combobox.

Thanks

Hi Kwabena,

There is a property ( DropDownGridCellModel.EmbeddedGrid ) to control the display of the child grid in the dropdown cell when moving the current cell or click inside the current cell. You can specify it using this code:

// Create and register dropdown grid cells
DropDownGridCellModel aModel = new DropDownGridCellModel(this.gridControl1.Model);

// create a child grids to be placed in the dropdowns
//you need to set the own grid for display.
aModel.EmbeddedGrid = this.gridControl2;

gridControl1.CellModels.Add("GridADropCell", aModel);

// set the dropdowns in a couple of cells
this.gridControl1[rowIndex,1].Text = "Grid A";
this.gridControl1[rowIndex,1].CellType = "GridADropCell";

Here is a sample.
