Hello all,

How to set a field in xamDataGrid to have a value from a ComboBox and not be editable? 

Look at my situation: 

Into a xamDataGrid I need that a field to be of ComboBox type. 

Here the only possible values are the values from ComboBox.

So the end user can not types a value for this field, instead he can choose a value from ComboBox.

To work with ComboBox in xamDataGrid, I found a sample at:

        <Grid.Resources>

                <Setter Property="EditTemplate">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:XamTextEditor}">
                            <StackPanel>
                                <ComboBox x:Name="cboComboboxEditor" IsEditable="True"
                                    Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=Text, Mode=TwoWay}" >
                                    <ComboBoxItem>Quality Assurance</ComboBoxItem>

                                </ComboBox>
                            </StackPanel>
                        </ControlTemplate>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Style>
            <XmlDataProvider x:Key="EmployeeData" Source="/Data/Employees.xml" XPath="/employees" />
           
        </Grid.Resources>
        <igDP:XamDataGrid Grid.Row="0" x:Name="XamDataGrid1" DataSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource EmployeeData}, XPath=employee}">
            <igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayoutSettings>
                <igDP:FieldLayoutSettings AutoGenerateFields="False" />
            </igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayoutSettings>
            <igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayouts>
                <igDP:FieldLayout>
                    <igDP:FieldLayout.Fields>
                        <igDP:Field Name="name" Label="Employee's Name"/>
                        <igDP:Field Name="department" Label="Department">
                            <igDP:Field.Settings>
                                <igDP:FieldSettings EditorStyle="{StaticResource customComboBoxEditor}" />
                            </igDP:Field.Settings>
                        </igDP:Field>
                    </igDP:FieldLayout.Fields>
                </igDP:FieldLayout>
            </igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayouts>
        </igDP:XamDataGrid>
    </Grid>
</Window>

But this only works when IsEditable="True" ( a ComboBox property ).

If I set  IsEditable="False" than when the mouse is over the dropdown list, the list disappear and I can't select something. 

Do you have any suggestion to solve my problem?
