call DropDown() of DropDownEditorButton
posted

I'm using an UltraComboEditor as my EditorComponent for a particular column in my UltraGrid,

I added a DropDownEditorButton to the ButtonsRight collection of the UltraComboEditor

(the control the DropDownEditor is associated to, happens to be is an UltraGrid, but I don't think it should matter)

I'd like when the user clicks on the text area of the cell of that particular column, i'd like the the DropDownEditor should drop down.

I tried running this line of code in the grid.CellClick or grid.AfterEnterEditMode or grid.DoubleClickRow

DirectCast(grid.ActiveCell.EditorComponentResolved,UltraComboEditor).ButtonsRight("myBotton").DropDown()

and it keeps throwing this exception:

The associated editor must be in edit mode to be dropped down

I tried preceding any of the following:

grid.PerformAction(EnterEditMode)

or

grid.ActiveCell.EditorResolved.Focus()

or

grid.ActiveCell.EditorComponentResolved.Focus

same result

 

any advice would be greatly apprciated

    Hello ,

     

    If you want to display a UltraGrid as DropDown of column’s editor I suggest you to use UltraCombo instead. If I am understand you correctly there is no need to add  an editor button in ButtonRights collection. Base on description of your scenario I have created a small sample to achieve your goal. Please run the sample and let me know if this is what you are looking for.

     

    I am waiting for your response.
