Unfortunately  yes.

Ok, so if equipment is going to be different for each row, you'll probably want to add another property to your column. 

Lets call it ItemsSourceMemberPath. 

Then you'll create a binding to the ComboBox's ItemsSource property and use that as the path:

Binding b = new Binding();

            b.Source = cell.Row.Data;

            b.Path = new PropertyPath(column.ItemsSourceMemberPath);

            this._combobox.SetBinding(ComboBox.ItemsSourceProperty, b);

You'd probably put this code in the ResolveDisplayElement method. 

Let me know if this works,

I tried it and unfortunately it doesn't work. If i collapse and expand the parent row again the content of the XamComboEditorColumn changes. The selected item appears and disappears the next time.

Could you attach your sample?

I just took your last sample, followed your instructions and did this

  <igcc:ComboBoxColumn Key="SelectedEquipment" ItemSourceMemberPath="Equip" DisplayMemberPath="SeatName" Width="200" IsReadOnly="True" />

public override FrameworkElement ResolveDisplayElement(Cell cell, System.Windows.Data.Binding cellBinding)
{
ComboBoxColumn column = (ComboBoxColumn)cell.Column;

Binding b = new Binding();
b.Source = cell.Row.Data;
b.Path = new PropertyPath(column.ItemSourceMemberPath);
this._combobox.SetBinding(ComboBox.ItemsSourceProperty, b);

if (column.DisplayMemberPath != null)
this._combobox.SetValue(ComboBox.DisplayMemberPathProperty, column.DisplayMemberPath);

cellBinding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;

this._combobox.SetBinding(ComboBox.SelectedItemProperty, cellBinding);

this._combobox.Style = cell.EditorStyleResolved;

return this._combobox;
}

ComboBoxColumn

/// <summary>
/// Identifies the <see cref="ItemSourceMemberPath"/> dependency property.
/// </summary>
public static readonly DependencyProperty ItemSourceMemberPathProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("ItemSourceMemberPath", typeof(String), typeof(ComboBoxColumn), null);

/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets a collection used to generate the content of the <see cref="ItemsControl"/>
/// </summary>
public String ItemSourceMemberPath
{
get { return (String)this.GetValue(ItemSourceMemberPathProperty); }
set { this.SetValue(ItemSourceMemberPathProperty, value); }
}

One thing is a bit ugly about the solution.

If you catch the event for the selection changing in the comboboxes it will be called several times with partly "wrong" data.

it works finally, thank you very much!

Hi, 

Ok, so comboBox and listBox can a bit of a pain to bind to in a recycling scenario, b/c SelectedItem and ItemSource are tied together. 

So, when you kill the DataContext for a row, which is expected b/c it's being recycled, the binding says, that the SelectedItem must not be valid anymore, and sets it to null. 

So.. with that said, you'll have to move some code around. 

First store off the cell binding in ResolveDisplayElement:

 _cellBinding = cellBinding;

Then move all your SetBinding logic to AdjustDisplayElement, like so:

public override void AdjustDisplayElement(Cell cell)

        {

            ComboBoxColumn column = (ComboBoxColumn)cell.Column;

            this._combobox.ClearValue(ComboBox.SelectedItemProperty);

            Binding b = new Binding();

            b.Source = cell.Row.Data;

            b.Path = new PropertyPath(column.ItemSourceMemberPath);

            this._combobox.SetBinding(ComboBox.ItemsSourceProperty, b);

            this._combobox.SetBinding(ComboBox.SelectedItemProperty, _cellBinding);

            base.AdjustDisplayElement(cell);

        }

Now, everything should work as expected.

I think the problem is, that the underlying content of a row is cleared after it is collapsed. Thats the reason why null is stored to SelectedEquipment. Therefore it is empty after expanding again. Is it possible to keep the content of the row?
