How to add editor provider?
posted

Hi everyone,

I am very new to this product. I have got problem about adding editor provider into the cells.

Firstly, I can get a DataTable object at runtime, so the number of columns and row are not fixed number. I want to bind this DataTable object to my WebDataGrid control.

Then, what I have done is: 1) I set this.WebDataGrid1.AutoGenerateColumns = false; 2) I create BoundDataField object at runtime and add this object to the column collection.

For some columns in the DataTable object I want combo box in the cells. For some other columns I want text box with MultipleLine mode in the cells. I have got a column called "Comment", which could hold 500 words in it. I want to show all the words to the users only when they click on the cell.

1) How can I add cell editor into the grid?

2) How can I hide the loooong text and display them when users click the particular cell?

Many thanks

Regards,

Xiaosu

    Hi,

    Yes, It is possible to use a dropdown editor provider for the WebDataGrid out of the box. You can refer to the following sample:

    https://es.infragistics.com/samples/aspnet/data-grid/dropdown-editors => WebDataGrid => Editors => DropDown Editors 

    Regarding multi-line mode, you can use a TemplatedColumn for the WebDataGrid, and add any HTML element inside it (with the necessary number of lines for the textbox), to achieve that functionality.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
