Read Cells From UltraCombo.SelectedRow Editor Component At Initialization
posted

I have a grid column with an UltraCombo as the editor component.

The UltraCombo translates a stored ID into a human readable description.

I would like to read ActivitiesUltraDropDown.SelectedRow.Cells(2).Value and put that into an unbound column in the grid. I can make this work on the TextChanged event of the UltraCombo, but that event won't fire unless the user makes a change to the UltraCombo. I need an event to do this during grid load when the data is just loading, not changing.

I need a clue as to which event I could use when;

  • the data is all loaded into the grid (underlying ID's)
  • the UltraCombo has positioned itself on its row corresponding to the ID
  • each row in the UltraGrid is being iteratively selected

    I decided to take a different approach, because it seems that the UltraDropDown doesn't have a selected row yet at the time I'd like to read it.

    I wrote a little function that makes a datatable out of the same bindingsource that the UltraDropDown is bound to and does a find on it to return the value I want, then put it in the InitializeRow event.

    Also put the same function into the AfterCellUpdate event for when values change ...
