Hi Guys
i want to have a dropdown in a grid cell... the purpose of this will be for a user to lookup info and then select the record they want... i dont know which controls to use for the best practise here? either have a cell frop down a ultrawingrid or use a ultracombo or ultracomboeditor...???????
there could be few hundred records to drop down......
If the answer is a to have a ultrawingrid dropdown in a cell how will i do this?
I also need to populate fields in my rowedit template based on the record selected in the dropdown... and yes the field that must have the dropdown will ne on the same rowedit tempalate...
Please advise me on the best practise to do this and also how....
TIA.
Hello Burmo,
I made a little sample which I believe meets your requirements. Please take a look at it and let me know if this suits your needs.
Hi Boris
If i use the ultracombo control to display a few hundred records will i be able to extract the data for the hole row i select in this combo...?
how can i extract the whole row from the combo?
I believe that this would depend on the records that you are showing. If you want to show more than one column I suggest you to use the UltraCombo control, otherwise it will be simpler if you use the UltraComboEditor. Please let me know if something comes up in your way when implementing this.
