UltraComboEditor Disabling Typing Text

Emma asked on Nov 11, 2008 4:08 PM

Hi,

I have a comboeditor control bound to a list of objects. I want the user to be forced to choose one of these objects and not allow them to enter text into the comboeditor directly – is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Emma

Emma,

Set the DropDownStyle property of the control to DropDownList.

    This does not appear to work when the UltraComboEditor is used as an editor within the UltraGrid.
    
    Is there a trick to forcing selection of an item when the UltraComboEditor is an editor within the UltraGrid?
    
    Thanks

    When used in the grid, the UltraComboEditor provides the editor that the grid should use to edit the associated cell/column, but many of the properties on the standalone control are ignored in favor of those provided in the grid. In this particular case, you should set the Style property of the column to ColumnStyle.DropDownList.
