Haneef,

Thanks. This sample works. But I need to get this done for only one of the Combo box cell types. I have given the cell type as Combo box for 3 different cells in a row. Even though i register the DrawItem event in gridControl_CurrentCellShowingDropDown only for the particular row and column, the color changes in all the combo boxes. Kindly let me know how to fix this issue.

Thanks

Hi Rohith,

You need to check the CurrentCell.RowIndex and ColIndex in the CurrentCellShowingDropDown event and set ListBoxPart.DrawMode property to DrawMode.Normal. Please try the below code snippet and Let me know if this helps.

Private Sub gridCurrentCellShowingDropDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridCurrentCellShowingDropDownEventArgs) Handles grid.CurrentCellShowingDropDown

Dim cc As GridCurrentCell = Me.gridControl1.CurrentCell

Dim cr As GridComboBoxCellRenderer = CType(IIf(TypeOf cc.Renderer Is GridComboBoxCellRenderer, cc.Renderer, Nothing), GridComboBoxCellRenderer)

If Not cr Is Nothing AndAlso cc.RowIndex = 3 AndAlso cc.ColIndex = 2 Then
AddHandler cr.ListBoxPart.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf ListBoxPart_SelectedIndexChanged
AddHandler cr.ListBoxPart.DrawItem, AddressOf ListBoxPart_DrawItem
cr.ListBoxPart.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawVariable
SavedIndex = -1
Else
cr.ListBoxPart.DrawMode = DrawMode.Normal
End If
End Sub

Hi Haneef,

Thanks. Now I the color change reflects only on the combo box in particular row and column. But I am changing colors for some of the items in the combo box. When I select the other items in the Combo box , i need the default behaviour of a combo box. (i.e, the selection color should not be changed). I need to give the default system selction color for that selected item. Also When I select a particular item and then choose the next one (Which is also not colored) the Selection color gets drawn to both the items rather thatn for the last selected one. Kindly let me know how to fix this issue.

Hi Haneef,

Herewith I am attaching a sample Application showing the above mentioned scenario. In the sample application in the gridControl, for the 2nd row , i have chosen Combo box types for both 2 and 3rd column. I have changed the Color of some of the items in the combo box for column 2. The column 3 shows the default windows behaviour. Now in the Column 2, for the drop down list , When i select One, and then move down and select 2, Both the items shows the Selected color. Rather I need this combo box to work exactly like in combo box in col 3. I need the same selected color and selection behaviour. The selection color should only show for currently selected item. Not for previous item also.

Thanks
