DropDown / ComboBox Ex in Grid Row for Editing

[MCarver]

CG Gurus,

Is it currently possible to implement in row editing, which enables the ability to select options from combo boxes once in edit mode? I have been unable to find any discussion on this ability. If so, how can this be accomplished? If not, is it unreasonable to request this feature? I see where one can bind to an object using lCol.EditOptions.Control, but it appears this only applies to editing within the auto generated dialog box.

Please Advise.

Regards,
Monte Carver

After a fair bit of research and trial and error, I am able to effect a change to the underlying DataSet. However, upon rendering the grid, the current values are not displayed.

Please advise how to remedy this problem.. The OnProviderGetValue appears to have no effect, which I suspect is because the column is bound to a control.

Thank You
Monte Carver

OnCreate:

Code: Select all

  lCol := gd2Sub.JQGridColumns.ItemsByName['COMPLETED_USER_ID'];
  lCol.Editable := True;
  lCol.EditOptions.Control := cbCompUserGD;
  lCol.EditOptions.ControlAlign := alClient;
  lCol.Formatter := gcfControl;
  lCol.FormatOptionsControl.ControlTemplate := cbCompUserGD  // a CGDropDown;

OnProviderGetValue

Code: Select all

  if AFieldName = 'COMPLETED_USER_ID' then
  begin
    AHandled := True;
    AValue   := FCDS2Sub.FieldByName('SALC_COMPLETED_USER').AsString;
  end;

Hi MCarver,

I'm preparing some demo, how to use the custom controls...
It will be very useful for users, but will take some time.

Best Regards.

Thank you for your attention on this matter. I (we) look forward to the demo.

What is your ETA of a demo?
