I'm new to Telerik and still working on the 30 day trial so please bear with me, and pardon the ignorance if this is mind numbingly simple,
I need a simple way to show a simple hardcoded dropdown (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday) which validates input when a user edits the cell of a RadGridView
private void dg_DeliverySched_beginEdit(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
{
//I have these columns that need day of week validation comboboxes on edit click
if (e.Row is GridViewFilteringRowInfo && e.Column.Name == "Sun")
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
if (e.Row is GridViewFilteringRowInfo && e.Column.Name == "Mon")
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
if (e.Row is GridViewFilteringRowInfo && e.Column.Name == "Tue")
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
if (e.Row is GridViewFilteringRowInfo && e.Column.Name == "Wed")
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
if (e.Row is GridViewFilteringRowInfo && e.Column.Name == "Thu")
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
if (e.Row is GridViewFilteringRowInfo && e.Column.Name == "Fri")
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
if (e.Row is GridViewFilteringRowInfo && e.Column.Name == "Sat")
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
}

Hi Lyle,
Thank you for writing.
If you are using GridViewTextBoxColumn you can subscribe to the EditorRequired event and substitute the TextBoxEditor with a RadDropDownListEditor. After this subscribe to the CellEditorInitialized event and set up the desired values of the combo editor:
this.radGridView1.EditorRequired += this.RadGridView1_EditorRequired;
this.radGridView1.CellEditorInitialized += this.RadGridView1_CellEditorInitialized;
private void RadGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
if (this.radGridView1.CurrentColumn.Name == "Day")
{
e.EditorType = typeof(RadDropDownListEditor);
}
}
private void RadGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
if (this.radGridView1.CurrentColumn.Name == "Day")
{
RadDropDownListEditor comboBoxEditor = e.ActiveEditor as RadDropDownListEditor;
if (comboBoxEditor != null)
{
RadDropDownListElement element = (RadDropDownListElement)comboBoxEditor.EditorElement;
element.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList;
element.DataSource = new List<string>() { "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday" };
element.SelectedValue = e.Value;
}
}
}
The result is illustrated in the picture below:
