Hi,
I have a RadGridView which uses a GridViewComboBoxColumn, I populate the combo box list at run time using the CellEditorInitialized event handler. My issue is that when the user selects on a new item in the combobox and then clicks on a menu item (such as FileSave) or rad ribbon button then the new combo value is discarded. I notice the CellEndEdit event is also not fired.
If I select another cell in the grid then everything works as expected (ie CellEndEdit event is fired)
Is this a known issue and is there a workaround I could use ?
Or is it possible to always close the drop down list and call EndEdit when a selection is made?
Regards
Toby

Hello, Toby,
Please have in mind that GridViewComboBoxColumn accepts only valid values according to the applied GridViewComboBoxColumn.DataSource collection. If in the CellEditorInitialized event another DataSource collection is applied to the RadDropDownListEditor, all items that are not present in the GridViewComboBoxColumn.DataSource wouldn't be considered as valid. Hence, their value wouldn't be preserved to the cell.If you want to apply a different set of items for the editor, note that the GridViewComboBoxColumn.DataSource collection must contain all possible values. Then, in the CellEditorInitialized event only the desired subset of items can be set. This scenario is commonly known as cascading comboboxes. I would recommend you to have a look at the following KB article which demonstrates a sample approach how to handle this situation.

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
