Hello, Shubham,
RadGridView offers the CellEditorInitialized event which is suitable to adjust the editor after it is initialized and set the initial text:
private void RadGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
RadDropDownListEditor editor = e.ActiveEditor as RadDropDownListEditor;
if (editor!=null)
{
RadDropDownListEditorElement el = editor.EditorElement as RadDropDownListEditorElement;
if (editor.Value == null || editor.Value.ToString() == string.Empty)
{
el.ForeColor = Color.Gray;
el.Text = "Enter your name";
}
else
{
el.ForeColor = Color.Black;
}
}
}I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi Dess,
The problem with above code is that it will appear when user click on cell.
I just wanted to appear once the grid is displayed or user adds up row.
Thankyou for the response.

Hello,
The previous reply from Dess is affecting the edit mode of the RadGridView control. If you want to add the placeholder text when the grid is not in edit mode, you can use the CellFormatting event and set the customize the cell text if the value has not been set:
private void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.Name == "LastName" && e.CellElement.Value == null)
{
e.CellElement.Text = "Enter your name";
}
}If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
