How to add combobox to cells?

[User (Old forums)]

I have some cells that display enumeration values. If these are editable, I would like the user to select a new value from a list/combobox in that cell. How do I do this?

Hi dh,

You can set the column’s (if all the cells in the column will have the same editor) or a cell’s CellEditor property to a <a href=”http://doc.xceedsoft.com/products/gridNet/ref/xceed.grid.editors.gridcombobox.html”>GridComboBox</a&gt;.

For more information, please refer to the <a href=”http://doc.xceedsoft.com/products/gridNet/doc/sources/celleditors_and_viewers.htm”>Cell editors and viewers</a> topic in the help file.

Jenny,

Thanks, this works. However because these are enumeration values, I guess I have a special need.

Currently the cells show a string representation of the enum constant, such as A_2. However, I would like to display something a little different in the cells (both the grid and the gridcombobox), such as “A 2º”. How can I display these more user frendly text strings to the user, but these always refer to the corresponding enumeration value in the code?

Hi dh,

If you have both values in a data table, you can use the ValueMember and Display member properties of the GridComboBox (which derives from ComboBox) to display the “readable” value.

I hope this helps!
