combobox

[John]

Hi,

I tried using this code, but it doesn't work.


this.gridDataboundGrid.Binder.InternalColumns[1].StyleInfo.CellType = "ComboBox";
this.gridDataboundGrid.Binder.InternalColumns[1].StyleInfo.CellValueType = typeof(string);
this.gridDataboundGrid.Binder.InternalColumns[1].StyleInfo.DropDownStyle = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridDropDownStyle.Exclusive;


Please help. Thanks!

Hi coder12345,

Thank you for posting query to us.

You can assign values to the ComboBox using the DataSource. Please refer this code snippets:

this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns[0].StyleInfo.CellType = "ComboBox";
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns[0].StyleInfo.DataSource = dt;
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns[0].StyleInfo.DisplayMember = "Col0"; 
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns[0].StyleInfo.ValueMember = "Col0"; 
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns[0].StyleInfo.CellValueType = typeof(string);
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns[0].StyleInfo.DropDownStyle = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridDropDownStyle.Exclusive;

Please refer the below sample which shows a combo box with Exclusive DropDown.

Hi,

I tried the code, but it still doesn't work. Do I need to do it before I do bind to the datagrid or after?

And also, is the DisplayMember and the Valuemember just the mappingname of the column? Thanks!

Hi,

I figured out what the problem might be...when I set the datasource to a datatable, it works. But, when I try to set the datasource to a dataview, it doesn't work. Is there a way to get it the combobox to take the items from a dataview? Thanks!

Hi coder12345,

1.Do I need to do it before I do bind to the datagrid or after?
>>>>>>>>>>>>
You should use the code after binding the datagrid.

2.And also, is the DisplayMember and the Valuemember just the mappingname of the column?
>>>>>>>>>>>>

DisplayMember:Sets a string that specifies the mappingname of the column from which to retrieve strings for display in the combo box.

ValueMember:Sets a string that specifies the mappingname of the column from which to get values that correspond to the selections in the drop down list


3.ComboBox with DataView:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I am afraid that I was not able to reproduce the dataview issue. I have created a sample to test this issue and it is available in the following link.
http://websamples.syncfusion.com/samples/Grid.Windows/F68620_Modified/main.htm

DataView dv = new DataView();
dv = dt.DefaultView;           

this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns[0].StyleInfo.CellType = "ComboBox";
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns[0].StyleInfo.DataSource = dv;

Please have a look at the above sample and if still the issue exists, could you please elaborate the reproduce steps or modify the above sample to show the issue so that we could sort out the cause of the issue and provide you a solution?
