MultiColumnDropDownBox Problems

[David A. Gonzales]

I am trying to programatically build a multi-column Dropdown but I cannot get anything to display when I click the pulldown. I have a grid that has certain columns that have additional information that I would like to display in a multi-column pulldown. I build a DataTable with the additional data included and then try to bind that to the multicolumndropdowncombo control:

MultiColumnDropDownCombo dropList;

dropList = new MultiColumnDropDownCombo();
dropList.ID = "myDD";

dropList.DataSource = GetAdditionalInfo(sField);
dropList.DataMember = "id";
dropList.DataBind();

TemplateDropDown dd = new TemplateDropDown(dropList);
this.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[i].EditItemTemplate = dd;

When I enter edit mode the columns that should have additional info have the combobox but when I try and use the pulldown I get nothing. I looked in the source and saw that each column has the datatable information.

If a sample exists that shows how to do this programmatically that would be great.

Thanks.
David.

Hi David,

We are able to popup the dropdown of MultiColoumnDropDown control which is integrated inside the GridGrouping control when the control is in Edit mode.

But while accessing the drop down items, Runtime exception is thrown.It seems to be a bug and we look more this and will update you within two days.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
