Combobox in WinGrid

Julia posted over 16 years ago

Hello,

How can I put a combobox into Wingrid cell?

Thanks

So I have switched and am using an UltraDropDown. The problem I am currently experiencing is that when a user selects an item from the list, while the AfterExitEditMode event is processed (which in some cases makes a database call and opens a subform) the UltraDropDown displays the first item from the list in the grid cell. At the end of the event the selected value is displayed. For example, my list has A, B, C in it. When the user types 'C', it switches and displays the 'A' in the grid cell while the AfterExitEditMode event is processing.
Any thoughts?

UltraCombo is intended to be used as a standalone control on a form. It has a dropdown portion and a text portion. If you are using it in a grid, then the text portion of the control is not used, since you are using the grid cell as the text portion.
UltraDropDown is specifally designed as a dropdown to be used in a grid cell. It can't be used as a standalone control and it has no text portion.

Please explain? The ultracombo appears to be a might lighter control.

This will work, but it's more efficient to use UltraDropDown, rather than UltraCombo.

I was able to accomplish this by adding a ultracombo box to my form and then setting the grid cell Style to DropDown and the Valuelist to the ultracombo. I have a dynamically built grid so I do this in the grid's InitializeRow event, but I would suspect it could also be set at design time.

row.Cells[intCell].Style = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ColumnStyle.DropDownValidate;
row.Cells[intCell].ValueList = this.ucMyUltraCombo;
