Well, you could try to code it in such a way that you position your control over the cell. But this is probably just as complex an implementing your own editor.

Personally, I wouldn't want to have to try it in two days. Especially the two days before a delivery date.

Thanks Mike. Is there any workaround for this?. I just don't want to go through the process of implementing IProvidesEmbeddableEditor for my control. I already looked at the sample code for implementing the interface and I don't think I can meet up cos I've got 2 days left to deliver on this.

Thanks

So you want to embed your customer control directly inside the cell instead of showing it on a dropdown?

This is one of the new features we are currently working on, and it will be available in the next volume release (NetAdvantage 2009 Volume 2), which is due for release around September or October of this year.

I'm sorry, I wasn't so clear . The goal is to have a custom control as the editor control of a column. So i decided to take an approach you stated in one of your post. I'm using UltraTextEditor with DropDownEditorButton. I attached my custom control to the control property of DropDownEditorButton. I added the the DropDownEditorButton to ButtonRightCollection of the UltraTextEditor. The problem is the user will have to click on the DropDown icon of the UltraTextEditor for my control to be visible

Question: I don't want my user to click on the dropdown icon of the UltraTextEditor. Once the UltraTextEditor receives input, I want my control to be visible right on top of UltraTextEditor and not below.

I hope this is clearer
