How to force dropdown to open
posted

I have a form with several grids on it.  One of the grids contains a column  with a columnstyle = dropdown.  If the user tries to enter data in to any of the grids and the above mentioned column is empty then I want to place focus on that column, enter edit mode, and force the dropdown to open for the user to select a value.

Here is what I am using so far:

ugGridHeader.Focus()
ugGridHeader.Rows(0).Cells("KEYVALUE").Activate()
ugGridHeader.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.ExitEditMode)

The real problem at this point is I don't know how to force the dropdown to open.  Any ideas??

Thanks.  Bill

    Hi Bill,

    I think you meant to use EnterEditMode, not ExitEditMode. But in any case, the action you really want is UltraGridAction.EnterEditModeAndDropdown.
