Hi,
I have a question on how to achieve the following functionality.
I have a screen with multiple controls spread across the form. There are atleast 6 dropdowns on that form and user can only value select one from each dropdown. However the requirement has been changed and wants to see multiple columns in the dropdown and also wants to see a checkbox as the first column to select multiple items (unlike holding the SHIFT key to select multiples) . One of the drop down has atleast 6000 items. Is there any dropdown control in infragistics suite that can handle this? We don't have a lot of room to put 6 grids on the same form.
Also, can I achive this through binding a datatable?
So far we are using Microsoft controls and our company just ordered an Infragistics suite.
Any response is highly appreciated.

There's no pre-built control for a multiple-select drop-down in NetAdvantage for Win Client. However, most of the "building blocks" to make a mulitiple-select drop-down of this sort are available. Check out the following article from our Knowledge Base for details:
HOWTO:Creating a Multi-Select Dropdown Combo for the WinGrid
Since this example uses our WinGrid, it can be bound to a DataTable.
Hi Vince,
Thanks for your response. This is what I was looking for.
After following the sample, I encountered another issue. Attached screen shot explains well enough.
Under the Grid's Feature Picker, I added Filtering/Filter UI Type to "Filter Row" to give option to the user to type and filter the rows. This added an additional row on the top just below the column header which is fine. Now I see the checkbox even in the newly added filter row.
Appreciate your response.
Thanks
