GridControl ComboBox

[Nathaniel Felt]

When right-clicking on a combobox in a GridControl is it possible to prevent the combobox drop down? I only want the combobox drop down list to appear when a user left clicks.

Thank you

Hi Nathaniel,

Thank you for your response.

I just realized I posted this in the incorrect form. It should be in the Windows Forms section.

I am using the WinForms GridControl.

Hi Nathaniel,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

To prevent the combo box drop down while right clicking on the cell, you can handle the MouseDown event and CurrentCellShowingDropDown event with the following code.

            this.gridControl1.CurrentCellShowingDropDown += new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridCurrentCellShowingDropDownEventHandler(gridControl1_CurrentCellShowingDropDown);

            this.gridControl1.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(gridControl1_MouseDown);
      void gridControl1_CurrentCellShowingDropDown(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridCurrentCellShowingDropDownEventArgs e)
        {
            if (RightButton)
            {
                e.Cancel = true;
            }
        }
        bool RightButton;
        void gridControl1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
            {
                RightButton = true;
            }
            else
            {
                RightButton = false;
            }
        }

Please refer the following sample link which illustrates the above.
