HI,

I have tested the described by you and as Michal Saltzman mentioned that may be you are loading an existing saved layout where the grid’s value list is not saved. Please check the sample I have attached:

1.       Press “load data” – there must appear the lists for each cell

2.       Press “save”

3.       Rerun the application

4.       Press “load” – the value list should be loaded

As your sample is not very clear for me, If you tell me what exactly you are trying to achieve I will be glad to help you.

Regards,

Hi,

sorry, I forgot one step:

Please click the "Save Layout" button after loading the standard layout (in step 3).

Then the test.xml file is loaded when re-running the project, and the ValueList is not assigned to the column.

Hi,

I ran your sample and I do not get the results you describe. You are correct in that the ValueListItems should be appearing in the grid after Step 5, and when I run your sample, they do show up just fine for me.

I don't see how they could possibly not be showing up simply from stopping and re-running the project. Since the "test.xml" file does not exist, it never gets loaded and therefore nothing has changed. My guess is that you have a test.xml file on your machine that you saved at some point when the ValueList was not assigned to the column and so when you run the sample, it's loading that layout and removing the ValueList.

Hi,

you are right, your sample works.

Please have a look at my modified sample and test these steps:

1. Run the project
2. (The ValueListItems appear)
3. Click the button "Load standard layout"
4. (At this point, I can understand why the ValueList is empty, because the items were added after saving the test.xml_original)
5. Close the project and re-run it
6. (The ValueListItems don't appear. You have to re-link the ValueList to the column, see the last commented line in InitializeLayout())

What I don't understand is: Why do I have to set the ValueList property of the column again in this case, even it I have set it via the Designer? Is the InitializeLayout() method wrong for this? Maybe the property hasn't been set at this point.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Let me know if you will need any further help.
