Hi All,

I use NetAdvantage 2011.1 and I've started using the SF IG wrapper. I noticed that there is a class for the "ultradropdownbutton" control but not the "ultradropdown" control itself. Is this control to be handled directly like the ultragrid using BBS's etc or is there a better control to use in the grids for dropdown lists?

Everythings seems to work but the object instantiation order seems a bit "touchy" or am i missing something?

TIA

Trevor

Hi Trevor.

So far I have used the SF wrapper for the UltraComboEditor in UltraGrids and am populating them using the SF PopulationDataSourceSettings without any problem.
Is this what you mean?

Hi Ivan,

yes that's it. Is there anything special i need to do wrt the instantiation order, datasource settings, initial layout etc.?

Thanks

Trevor

I don't remember anything really special. I dropped the ComboEditors on my forms, populated as usual, made them invisible and attached them to the Grid's Columns.
One thing I did was to set the Columns properties by code, since I was loosing this configuration when only used the Grid's Wizard. So, in the Grid's InitializeRow event, I added something like this:

    Private Sub YourGrid_InitializeRow(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.InitializeRowEventArgs) Handles YourGrid.InitializeRow
        '-- set columns editor control
        e.Row.Cells("YourField1").EditorComponent = Me.YourComboEditor1
        e.Row.Cells("YourField2").EditorComponent = Me.YourComboEditor2
    End Sub

Hope it helps.

Thanks Ivan. That is exactly what I am experiencing.

You're welcome, Trevor.
