Multi select in a combo
posted

The requirement is to allow the user multiple rows in a combo/ drop down. That is the user will click on drop down there will be a grid with all the values and the user should be able to select (using a checkbox) multiple rows in the drop down.

 If the possible?

 

also what is the difference between a Ulrta Combo and a Drop down

     Hi,

        Let me start with your second question first. UltraCombo is a standalone control. You can place it on a form all by itself and it's like a ComboBox. The UltraDropDown cannot be used on it's own, because it has no text portion. It's meant to be used as a drop down in a grid cell.

        Neither UltraDropDown nor UltraCombo support multiple selection.

        But you can create your own multi-select combobox pretty easily using other Infragistics controls.

        What you do is use an UltraTextEditor and an UltraWinGrid. On the UltraTextEditor, you use the ButtonsRight collection to add an DropDownEditorButton and set the button's Control property to the grid. Presto, instant dropdown grid. You will have to handle some events to decide what happens to the text portion when the user selects values in the grid and to select the appropriate values in the grid when the user drops down the list.
