Set combobox celltype to behave like a static celltype -> readonly and hide drop down option

[James Blibo]

I have a combobox celltype that i want to make to behave like a static cell. However, I do not want to make it disabled as that would prevent the cell from being clickable.

I have tried the code below to hide the drop down button..

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["ColumnName"].Appearance.AnyCell.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide;

I have set the readonly property but when the cell is click, the drop down list still appear.

how can i accomplish this?

Hi James,

This can be achieved by handling the TableControlCellClick event. In the event, you can check for the comboBox celltype and cancel the cell click event. And you can hide the comboBox button The following is the code snippet

>>>>>>>>>>>>>Code Snippet<<<<<<<<<<<<<
//this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[“ColumnName”].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = "ComboBox"; //this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[“ColumnName”].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide;
//this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControlCellClick += new GridTableControlCellClickEventHandler(gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCellClick);
void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCellClick(object sender, GridTableControlCellClickEventArgs e)
{
GridCurrentCell cc = e.TableControl.CurrentCell;
if (cc.Renderer.StyleInfo.CellType == GridCellTypeName.ComboBox)
e.Inner.Cancel = true;
}

Have a nice day.
