DropDown behavior in a ComboBox celltype

[Administrator]

Guys,

I have a requirement where whenever the user click (anywhere in the cell) or start typing in a combobox cell the dropdown list should be shown.

Any idea on how can I accomplish this?

TIA
Jose

You can try handling CurrentcellStartEditing, and drop the combobox there. Here is code that drops combos in column 3.

bool inDrop = false; //avoid recursive call
private void dataBoundGrid1_CurrentCellStartEditing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
GridCurrentCell cc = this.dataBoundGrid1.CurrentCell;
if(cc.ColIndex == 3 && !inDrop)
{
inDrop = true;
cc.ShowDropDown();
inDrop = false;
}
}
