Hi Reshma,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Normally DropDownGrid cell lost focus if the you are opening a new form from the DropDownGrid. Because focus change to the another form. Please try setting ForceCurrentCellMoveTo property of DropDownGrid as true. Here is the sample code.

 this.gridControl1.ForceCurrentCellMoveTo = true;

Please let me know if this helps.

Hi Reshma,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

If a form is open from the DropDownGrid, then the DropDownGrid gets close normally. This is default behaviour. But you can achieve this task, by storing the currentcell row and column index. Then handling the dispose event of the form and show the dropdown of the currentcell. After that move the focus to the currentcell of the DropDownGrid.

Here is the minimal sample which implements this task.

Hi Reshma,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

You need to Comment out CurrentCellActivated event to solve this issue.

'Private Sub gridControl1_CurrentCellActivated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
  'Dim cc As GridCurrentCell = Me.gridControl1.CurrentCell
  'If Me.gridControl1.Model(cc.RowIndex, cc.ColIndex).CellType Is "GridADropCell" OrElse Me.gridControl1.Model(cc.RowIndex, cc.ColIndex).CellType Is "GridBDropCell" Then
    'Me.gridControl1.CurrentCell.ShowDropDown()
  'End If
'End Sub

Please let me know if this helps.
