Hi,

I would like to use enums to populate a LookupEdit column in a DevExpress grid. I've worked my way to the BuildDataTableFromEnum method and that seemed to hold the clue but I can't work out how to use it. Before spending a lot of time on this I thought I had better ask if it is even possible. If it is, do you have a code snippet I could use?

Cheers, Peter

This will require the use of an embedded control which we do not have a wrapper for.  However, you can use the BuildDataTableFromEnum static (shared) method in the MicroFour.StrataFrame.Tools.Common namespace to create the data table that can then be used as a data source within the LookupEdit control.  For us to provide the native SF Enum population within the embedded control would require use to re-write some of the DevExpress type editors which just is not feasible.  The good news is that you can at least get the final result you are looking for.
