Showing Foreigns in non ComboBox cell types

[William McSporran]

Hi,

I want to use a GridDataBoundGrid to show read only data to my users. To show data from related tables I'm using the standard ComboBox cell type and setting it's datasource, etc. and this works. However the user can still drop down the combobox, even though they can't actually change the values.

This will cause confusion; I'd rather the user wasn't shown the combobox at all. I've tried using different cell types, but they simply show the value of the foreign key field rather than the lookup value from the related table.

Is there a way to achieve what I'm looking for?

I'm using Syncfusion Essential Studio 2008.

thanks

The GridStyleInfo object has a ShowButtons property that you can use to hide buttons. So, depending upon wether you have explicitly added GridBoundColumns or not, you would use code like:

gridDataBoundGrid1.GridBoundColumns["ColName"].StyleInfo.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide;

or

gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns["ColName"].StyleInfo.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide;

That fixed it!

Thanks.
