hi, sorry everyone but i'm going to keep this thread going. i have the same problem and nothing is working.

i've defined the schema in the designer. First column being a False just to generate the checkbox view.

• 4 columns - bool,string,string,string

Bind at runtime with Linq, when i perform that binding at runtime none of the check boxes are editable..at all.

• gridADUsers.DataSource = (from d in datasource select new { Select=false, d.LastName, d.FirstName, d.UserName}).ToList() ;

i verified my AllowUpdate properties, CellClickAction, CellActivation. i added them to my debug watch list right before and after binding to the grid. they looked fine.

i've commented all of my DisplayLayout.override  assignments.

One thing i notice, when i go back into the schema designer the first column (my check column) datatype goes back to String. if i try to change the datatype at run time it says i cannot change it because the column is bound.

Could that be the problem?

thank you!

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply.

But I've changed the database view to give yes for true and no for false.

So don't need to handle that on the grid now.

Is the cell editable by the user?

If you simply set the Style of the cell to Edit, it will display as text with "true" or "false". Changing the text will require a DataFilter or possibly a CreationFilter.

Hello,

I'm populating the Ultragrid from an sql datasource. For the boolean column, its displaying check boxes. I want to display yes/no for these. How do I achieve that?

I tried 

foreach(UltraGridRow row in ugrid.Rows)

{

foreach (UltraGridCell cell in row.Cells)
{
if (cell.Value.GetType().Name.Equals("Boolean"))
{
if (cell.Value.Equals("true"))
{
cell.Value = "Yes";
}
else
{
cell.Value = "No";
}
}
}

}

But since, the datatype is boolean, i'm not able to assign a string value. How do I override the datatype ?
