Hello Everyone,
For some reason I can't seem to find an ASP.net WebCombo control. I have added the DLL: Infragistics35.Web.v11.2 but WebCombo doesn't show up in my toolbox (though a dozen or more other Infragistics web controls are there).
Any ideas?
Hi, I've managed to follow those links but I think there is a missing step. How do I associate the WebDropDown with the DropDownProvider? I currently have a Populated WebDropDown on my page instead of in the grid. The editor provider that comes up in the grid is empty.
Please reply. Thanks.
Hi Jathyal,
Please feel free to contact me if you need further assistance.
Thank you for your reply.
In this scenario I would suggest that you use a DropDownProvider in your WebDataGrid:

A detailed guide for adding an editor provider to a WebDataGrid can be found at:
http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/2011.2/CLR4.0/?page=WebDataGrid_Using_Editor_Providers.html
The above article illustrates how this is doe for the DatePicker provider, however the principle is the same with the DropDownProvider.
Regarding your question about implementing a multi-column WebDropDown, I suggest that you take a look at the following article:
http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/2011.2/CLR4.0/html/WebDropDown_Create_a_Multi_Column_WebDropDown_using_Templates.html
Note that the grid's DropDownProvider can also be templated in this fashion. Additional information regarding dropdown templating may be found at:

Please let me know if this helps.
Actually I do need a little bit of help. I looked at the page you directed me to regarding the new AIKIDO controls, realized that WebDropDown was the replacement for WebCombo and then started trying to figure out a way to get WebDropDown to do what I wanted.
I have a WebDataGrid with many columns, the first 3 are Job, Client and Description. The user clicks on an empty cell in the Job column and a WebDropDown shows.The WebDropDown needs to have 3 columns (Job#, Client#, Description) and the user chooses the entire row of the WebDropDown to fill in the first 3 columns of the WebDataGrid.
I searched online and I came to this page:

Over there, the solution directs us to 2 other pages:
http://samples.infragistics.com/2009.1/WebFeatureBrowser/Default.aspx
&
Which do not seem to work. I would like to see these samples to get a better idea of this WebDropDown.
Do you know where I could see these samples?
Thanks.
