Combobox within Xtragrid bound to column value

created 14 years ago

I have a column n my xtragrid that is bound to a column in the dataset :
the column contains values 1,2 and 3
I have set the Column Edit property of that xtragrid column to RepositoryItemComboBox2 and populated the combobox with three values ie: US, Canada,France
on the CustomRowCellEdit event I want the combobox to display the values in the combobox based on the value of the column in the data set
EG:
if "columnname" = 1
then RepositoryItemComboBox2 item1
if "columnname" = 2
then RepositoryItemComboBox2 item2
etc…
How do I go about achieveing this?

    Hi Isaac,
    Thank you for your message.
    Unless I am mistaken you wish to display "US", "Canada" and "France" in a grid column while this column contains values 1, 2 and 3.
    If it is so, the best way to get it done is to use RepositoryItemLookUpEdit instead. Just set theRepositoryItemLookUpEdit.DataSource property to an appropriate datasource, the RepositoryItemLookUpEdit.DisplayMember property - to a column name that should match a display text and the RepositoryItemLookUpEdit.ValueMember property - to a column name that should be associated with an edit value.
    We hope that you find this information helpful.
    Thanks,
    Svetlana

      Hi,
             Thanks for the reply. I will try that out and get back.
      One more thing:
      i wanted to implement something similar to the above but this time with images.
      i want an unbound column and want to display an image based on a value of another column.
      How do I go about doing this:
      EG:
      Column1(Unbound) Column2(value)
      Image 1 1
      image2 2
      image3 3
      I have searched the knowledge base but wasnt able to find anything…
      Something to do with the CustomRowCellEdit event .?
