how to handle a multi-band drop down from a combo control
posted

I've tried to find a 'how to' for this but haven't had any luck.

In my application, I want to have a combo box that when dropped down shows a list of customers and the ability to click on a customer row and drop down a list of Service Tickets for that customer. I then need to take action based on which service ticket the user double clicks on and show that service ticket description in the combo text area. I created a dataset with the 2 tables and established the parent/child relationship and tried using ultra combo but found that it doesn't handle the heirarchical data.

I'm fairly new to the infragistics controls so I'm not sure where to look for answers. I've tried the help text and the knowledge base and done numerous searches but can't find what I'm looking for.

Is there a way to host an ultra grid on a como?

What would you suggest? Is there a 'how to' written somewhere on this?

    Hi,

    UltraCombo does not support displaying hierarchical data or dropdowns inside it's own dropdown area.

    It seems to me that you could display your service tickets in a flat list, and then turn on filtering so that the user can filter by customer. To turn on filtering in the Combo, you would just set combo.DisplayLayout.Override.AllowRowFiltering to true.

    Yes, this can be done. Here's a link that shows you how.
