ComboBoxEditor will not display

#14782 |

I’ve created a grid bound to the orders table in the Northwind database, but I can’t seem to get the ShipCountry colum to display as a combobox the way it does in the examples provided. I would expect the entire orders table to display in the grid (this works) and the shipCountry to be viewed as a dropdown (this doesn’t). This doesn’t seem to be the case with the sample of code below:

OleDbDataAdapter1.Fill(DataSet11)

GridControl1.BeginInit() ‘ EndInit will be called later

GridControl1.SetDataBinding(DataSet11, “Orders”)

Dim editor As New Xceed.Grid.Editors.ComboBoxEditor
GridControl1.Columns(“ShipCountry”).CellEditorManager = editor

GridControl1.EndInit()

thanks for any help

You need to feed the ComboBox with its own DataSource. The ShipCountry in the Order table is a string field, so the ComboBox has no data to draw from.

For example, you could bind to the ShipCountry of the Order table :

ComboBoxEditor editor = new ComboBoxEditor( dataSet11.Orders, “”, “ShipCountry”, “%ShipCountry%” );
gridControl1.Columns[ “ShipCountry” ].CellEditorManager = editor;
