I've got a grid with two columns. ColumnA is regular text, ColumnB is a dropdownlist. I want to bind the values in ColumnB's valuelist based on the value in ColumnA, on a row-by-row basis. I got it working by callingback and rebinding the valuelist on a ActiveRowChange, but that screws up focus, and isn't very "smooth" either. Is there another way, preferably one that doesn't require a postback/callback?
I think it might be easier to filter the valuelist, but the total (non-filtered) list is big (3000+ rows), and my grid would balloon if I put that many rows into the dropdown for every row.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
There's an example of how to do that using the WebCombo control in the samples browser.
It appears the webcombo control will not work correctly (when bound to a system.data.dataset) unless I have AutoGenerateColumns = True. Basically, it will bind, but when I click on the dropdown arrow it will not drop down. There is no response whatsoever. The example you provided seems to confirm this theory, as it appears to have AutoGenerateColumns on, too. Can you confirm or deny this?
Here is what I did to test this:
My dropdown does have the AllowUpdate set to yes and CellClickAction set to edit, but when I enter the cell/drop-down, the existing value disappears. That's not desired behavior. Perhaps I'm missing another setting???? What could it be?

I have this exact same problem. I have to double-click OR hit <enter> on the column in order for the dropdown to display.

I haven't seen that in my grids. The dropdown arrow appears once focus is in that cell. Sorry!
