Grid 3.0 Editors question

I am working with an unbound grid that I am trying to use a databound DropDownList by using the ComboBoxEditor and ComboBoxViewer controls. I have all the columns added to the grid, the ComboBox is populated from the database, but the issue is I need to set the value of the ComboBox when the grid is populated. Here’s how I’m building it:
<code>
// columns for first grid
Xceed.Grid.Column colCompId = new Xceed.Grid.Column(“COMP_ID”, typeof(long));
colCompId.Width = 64;
colCompId.ReadOnly = true;
Xceed.Grid.Column colLibId = new Xceed.Grid.Column(“LIB_ID”, typeof(long));
colLibId.Width = 56;
colLibId.ReadOnly = true;
Xceed.Grid.Column colLibraryName = new Xceed.Grid.Column(“LIBRARY_NAME”, typeof(string));
colLibraryName.Width = 160;
colLibraryName.ReadOnly = true;
Xceed.Grid.Column colReportedName = new Xceed.Grid.Column(“REPORTED_NAME”, typeof(string));
colReportedName.Width = 160;
colReportedName.ReadOnly = true;
Xceed.Grid.Column colStatus = new Xceed.Grid.Column(“STATUS”, typeof(string));
colStatus.Width = 60;

// add columns to grid
gcChroSet.Columns.Add(colCompId);
gcChroSet.Columns.Add(colLibId);
gcChroSet.Columns.Add(colLibraryName);
gcChroSet.Columns.Add(colReportedName);
gcChroSet.Columns.Add(colStatus);

// fill the dataset with the status values from the db
myDS = GetStatusValues();

// editor
cboStatusEd = new ComboBoxEditor();
cboStatusEd.DataSource = myDS;
cboStatusEd.DataMember = “Table”;
gcChroSet.Columns[“STATUS”].CellEditorManager = cboStatusEd;

// viewer
cboStatusVw = new ComboBoxViewer(myDS, “Table”, “name”);
gcChroSet.Columns[“STATUS”].CellViewerManager = cboStatusVw;

// now when i populate the grid from another method, I’m looping through the data and loading the grid values

foreach (System.Data.DataRow myRow in myTable.Rows)
{
// add items to gcChroSet
Xceed.Grid.DataRow row = gcChroSet.DataRows.AddNew();
row.Cells[“COMP_ID”].Value = (long)Convert.ToInt64(myRow[“COMP_ID”].ToString());
row.Cells[“LIB_ID”].Value = (long)Convert.ToInt64(myRow[“LIB_ID”].ToString());
row.Cells[“LIBRARY_NAME”].Value = myRow[“LIBRARY_NAME”].ToString();
row.Cells[“REPORTED_NAME”].Value = myRow[“REPORTED_NAME”].ToString();
row.Cells[“STATUS”].Value = myRow[“STATUS”].ToString();
row.EndEdit();
}
</code>

This is working as far as loading the grid with the correct values, but I have to click in a Status Cell in order to see the value in the ComboBox. Is there anything I can do so that they are all showing their values without making the user click the cell to see the status value?

Thank you

I solved the problem by setting CellEditorDisplayConditions to Always. Hopefully this will help someone else.
