ComboBox example when used in unbound grid

[User (Old forums)]

#17414 |

Could you please provide a simple example of how to use a combobox in an unbound grid? Just something very simple so I can complete my evaluation of Exceed grid without spending another hour scouring weak documentation and piles of databound examples (which is getting XcEEDINGLY annoying…. and here I thought components were developed to save us time).

Hi David,

 

Please find next an example for your scenario:

 

GridControl gridControl = new GridControl();
      gridControl.FixedHeaderRows.Add( new ColumnManagerRow() );

      gridControl.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

      Column column1 = new Column( “Column1”, typeof( string ) );

      gridControl.Columns.Add( column1 );
      gridControl.DataRowTemplate.FitHeightToEditors = true;

      this.Controls.Add( gridControl );

      for( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
      {
        Xceed.Grid.DataRow dataRow = gridControl.DataRows.AddNew();

        dataRow.Cells[ 0 ].Value = “Test #1”;

        dataRow.EndEdit();
      }

      WinComboBox templateComboBox = new WinComboBox();
      templateComboBox.Items.Add( “Test #1” );
      templateComboBox.Items.Add( “Test #2” );
      templateComboBox.Items.Add( “Test #3” );
      templateComboBox.Items.Add( “Test #4” );
      templateComboBox.Items.Add( “Test #5” );

      ComboBoxEditor comboEditor = new ComboBoxEditor( templateComboBox );

      column1.CellEditorManager = comboEditor;

 

You should also handle the SettingControlValueCore event and chose the default value on your comboBox if the cell’s value does not match any of its items.
