So in this example, its telling me to use a RadDropDownButton.  If I want to have it popup when I click the already gridview existing process row cell or the text in that cell.  What do I need to replace the RadDropDownButton part below with? My column for the the process column was created thru the PropertyBuilder with data source to the table view in my sql server as GridViewTextBoxColumn.

Their example:

            protected override void CreateChildElements()
            {
                base.CreateChildElements();
                this.button = new RadDropDownButtonElement();
                this.button.Text = "Click For Edit";
                this.Children.Add(button);
                this.button.Items.Add(CreateDropDownButton());

                //subscribe for RadDropDownButtonClick event
                this.button.Click += new EventHandler(button_Click);

                //subscribe for UserControl's saveButton click event
                RadButton saveButton = (RadButton)userControl.Controls["saveButton"];
                saveButton.Click += new EventHandler(saveButton_Click);
            }

Oops...

missed some... 

Their example should be:

 public class CustomCell : GridDataCellElement
        {
            private RadDropDownButtonElement button;
            private UserControl1 userControl;

            public CustomCell(GridViewColumn column, GridRowElement row) : base(column, row)
            {
            }

            protected override void CreateChildElements()
            {
                base.CreateChildElements();
                this.button = new RadDropDownButtonElement();
                this.button.Text = "Click For Edit";
                this.Children.Add(button);
                this.button.Items.Add(CreateDropDownButton());

                //subscribe for RadDropDownButtonClick event
                this.button.Click += new EventHandler(button_Click);

                //subscribe for UserControl's saveButton click event
                RadButton saveButton = (RadButton)userControl.Controls["saveButton"];
                saveButton.Click += new EventHandler(saveButton_Click);
            }

Hello, Lily,    

The provided approach uses a custom GridDataCellElement which is created in the RadGridView.CreateCell event. You can subscribe to this event at design time as well via the Properties section in Visual Studio. Otherwise, you can add the column programatically at run time after subscribing t the event. 

If you are still experiencing any further difficulties, feel free to submit a support ticket from your Telerik account and provide a sample project demonstrating the undesired behavior that you are facing. Thus, our support staff would be able to further investigate the precise case and gladly assist you.
