I am trying to add a drop down list into all cells for a column in a datagridView in my Winforms Application. I have created the view programatically by dragging the dgv into the form, and adding columns upon the creation of the class.
The drop down list appears in my DGV column, however when I click on the list nothing opens up - i am unsure if the ComboBox is populated and not opening, or if it simply does not contain values for user to select. Hovering over the object when adding the comboBox to the cell, i can see the item array populated with my values..
Please advise on how I can allow the user to select values in the cell that are populated from my list
DataGridViewTextBoxColumn diffKey = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
DataGridViewComboBoxColumn matchDesc = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn();
DataGridViewTextBoxColumn permDiff = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
grdEditAnnot.Columns.Add(diffKey);
grdEditAnnot.Columns.Add(matchDesc);
grdEditAnnot.Columns.Add(permDiff);
DataGridViewComboBoxCell matchDescDropbox = new DataGridViewComboBoxCell();
List<string> lstMatchDesc = new List<string>();
LoadMatchDescriptions(out lstMatchDesc);
foreach (string ddlItem in lstMatchDesc)
{
matchDescDropbox.Items.Add(ddlItem);
}
grdEditAnnot.Rows.Add(2);
matchDescDropbox.DataSource = GetMatchDescDDL(); // Bind combobox with datasource.
matchDescDropbox.ValueMember = "Description";
matchDescDropbox.DisplayMember = "Description";
grdEditAnnot.Rows[0].Cells[1] = matchDescDropbox;
}
private DataTable GetMatchDescDDL()
{
DataTable l_dtDescription = new DataTable();
l_dtDescription.Columns.Add("Description", typeof(string));
List<string> matchDescLst;
if (LoadMatchDescriptions(out matchDescLst) == 0)
{
foreach(string matchDesc in matchDescLst)
{
l_dtDescription.Rows.Add(matchDesc);
}
}
return l_dtDescription;
}
private int LoadMatchDescriptions(out List<string> matchDscLst)
{
//string SQL = SQL USED TO POPULATE MY LIST
//a temporary list of test strings would work to show how to get this to work... ex: list of test1, test2, test3 etc
try
{
matchDscLst = new List<string>();
rdr.ExecuteSQL(SQL);
while ((rec = rdr.FetchNextRecord()) != null)
{
matchDscLst.Add(rec.GetStringVal(0));
}
return 0;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error Loading Match Descriptions", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
matchDscLst = new List<string>();
return -1;
}
}
This is my first post on StackOverflow; apologies if this is not in best format or if we need more info..
Result of code:
Grid that is created; user cannot open up comboBox or type into textbox columns
use DataGridViewComboBoxCell
look this example :
https://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Add-ComboBox-to-DataGridView-in-Windows-Forms-Application-using-C-and-VBNet.aspx
I have a DataGridView in a C# WinForms project in which, when the user clicks on certain DGV cells, the cell changes to a DataGridViewComboBoxCell and the ComboBox is populated with some values for the user to select. Here's the form code for the DataGridView_Click event:
private void dgvCategories_Click(Object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ColumnIndex == 5 && !(dgvCategories.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].GetType().Name == "DataGridViewComboBoxCell"))
{
// Bind combobox to dgv and than bind new values datasource to combobox
DataGridViewComboBoxCell cboNewValueList = new DataGridViewComboBoxCell();
// Get fields to build New Value query
List<string> lsNewValuesResult = new List<string>();
string strCategory = dtCategories.Rows[e.RowIndex][1].ToString();
string strCompanyName = cboSelectCompany.Text;
string strQueryGetNewValuesValidationInfo = "SELECT validationdb, validationtable, validationfield, validationfield2, validationvalue2" +
" FROM masterfiles.categories" +
" WHERE category = #category";
//" WHERE category = '" + strCategory + "'";
// Pass validation info query to db and return list of New Values
db getListOfNewValues = new db();
lsNewValuesResult = getListOfNewValues.GetNewValuesList(strQueryGetNewValuesValidationInfo, strCategory, strCompanyName);
//Populate the combobox with the list of New Values
foreach (string strListItem in lsNewValuesResult)
{
cboNewValueList.Items.Add(strListItem);
}
//
dgvCategories[e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex] = cboNewValueList;
}
}
Here's the code in the db class that populates the ComboBox (this likely isn't necessary to include for the purposes of this question, but for the sake of completeness, I'm including it, in case is it relevant):
public List<string> GetNewValuesList(string strValidationInfoQuery, string strCategory, string strCompanyName)
{
List<string> lsValidationInfo = new List<string>();
List<string> lsNewValuesList = new List<string>();
using (NpgsqlConnection conn = new NpgsqlConnection(connString))
using (NpgsqlCommand cmd = new NpgsqlCommand(strValidationInfoQuery, conn))
{
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("category", strCategory);
conn.Open();
using (NpgsqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while (reader.Read())
{
int intReaderIndex;
for (intReaderIndex = 0; intReaderIndex <= reader.FieldCount - 1; intReaderIndex++)
{
// reader indexes 3 & 4 correspond to categories.validationfield2 and validationvalue2, which can be null
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(reader[intReaderIndex].ToString()))
{
lsValidationInfo.Add("");
}
else
{
lsValidationInfo.Add(reader.GetString(intReaderIndex));
}
//Console.WriteLine("reader index " + intReaderIndex + ": " + reader.GetString(intReaderIndex));
}
}
}
}
string strValidationDb = lsValidationInfo[0];
string strValidationTable = lsValidationInfo[1];
string strValidationField = lsValidationInfo[2];
string strValidationField2 = lsValidationInfo[3];
string strValidationValue2 = lsValidationInfo[4];
string strQueryGetNewValues = "SELECT DISTINCT " + strValidationField +
" FROM " + strValidationDb + "." + strValidationTable +
" WHERE company_id = (SELECT id FROM company WHERE name = '" + strCompanyName + "')";
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(strValidationField2) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(strValidationValue2)) strQueryGetNewValues += " AND " + strValidationField2 + " = '" + strValidationValue2 + "'";
strQueryGetNewValues += " ORDER BY " + strValidationField;
using (NpgsqlConnection conn = new NpgsqlConnection(connString))
using (NpgsqlCommand cmd = new NpgsqlCommand(strQueryGetNewValues, conn))
{
conn.Open();
using (NpgsqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while (reader.Read())
{
int intReaderIndex;
for (intReaderIndex = 0; intReaderIndex <= reader.FieldCount - 1; intReaderIndex++)
{
// reader indexes 3 & 4 correspond to categories.validationfield2 and validationvalue2, which can be null
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(reader[intReaderIndex].ToString()))
{
lsNewValuesList.Add("");
}
else
{
lsNewValuesList.Add(reader.GetString(intReaderIndex));
}
Console.WriteLine("reader index " + intReaderIndex + ": " + reader.GetString(intReaderIndex));
}
}
}
}
return lsNewValuesList;
}
The combobox is getting populated, as I can access the items in lsNewValuesResult in the _Click method. The DGV Edit Mode is set to EditOnEnter. I tried EditOnKeystroke, but that didn't cause the combobox to expand on mouse click.
This is what the combobox looks like when the cell is clicked on and the CBO is populated and added to the DGV cell:
That's after I clicked each of the two cells.
[RESOLVED]
See my Answer below.
Unfortunately solving this revealed a new issue.
I'm about to publicly admit that I'm stupid:
For design and functionality reasons that are required for this project, I am manually setting the widths and names of the DGV's columns, and I also need the 2nd through 4th columns ReadOnly = true. Well, I inadvertently set the 5th column - the column that this question is about to ReadOnly = true as well.
Thank you all for your attempts at answering. This just serves to remind us how something so simple can cause a seemingly big issue and is so easy to overlook!
If I recognize your problem correctly, in my test app i add a DataGridView whit 6 column, EditMode = EditOnEnter
(Others need three time click to open dropdown, As far as I tried) and handle CellStateChanged envent.
private void dgvCategories_CellStateChanged(object sender, DataGridViewCellStateChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.StateChanged == DataGridViewElementStates.Selected)
{
DataGridViewCell cell = e.Cell;
int columnIndex = cell.ColumnIndex;
int rowIndex = cell.RowIndex;
//---IF CONDITIONS--
//columnIndex == 5
// Only cells in Columns[5]
//cell.Selected
// Because this event raised two time, first for last selected cell and once again
// for currently selected cell and we need only currently selected cell.
//cell.EditType.Name != "DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl"
// If this cell "CellStateChanged" raised for second time, only other cell types allowed
// to edit, otherwise the current cell lost last selected item.
if (columnIndex == 5 && cell.Selected && cell.EditType.Name != "DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl")
{
DataGridViewComboBoxCell cboNewValueList = new DataGridViewComboBoxCell();
//Add items to DataGridViewComboBoxCell for test, replace it with yours.
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
cboNewValueList.Items.Add($"Item {i}");
dgvCategories[columnIndex, rowIndex] = cboNewValueList;
}
}
}
NOTE: user must click two time in a cell to open drop down menu.
Edit One: As Reza Aghaei suggest for single click in cell:
private void dgvCategories_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl editingControl = dgvCategories.EditingControl as DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl;
if (editingControl != null)
editingControl.DroppedDown = true;
}
You might need to turn AutoGenerateColumns off:
Also, it seems to take a three clicks for the dropdown to pop.
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
dataGridView1.DataSource = GetDataSource();
DataGridViewComboBoxColumn dgvcbc = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn();
dgvcbc.Items.Add("R0C0");
dgvcbc.Items.Add("R1C0");
dgvcbc.Items.Add("R2C0");
dgvcbc.Items.Add("R3C0");
dgvcbc.DataPropertyName = "Col0";
dataGridView1.Columns.Add(dgvcbc);
}
DataTable GetDataSource()
{
var dtb = new DataTable();
dtb.Columns.Add("Col0", typeof(string));
dtb.Columns.Add("Col1", typeof(string));
dtb.Columns.Add("Col2", typeof(string));
dtb.Columns.Add("Col3", typeof(string));
dtb.Columns.Add("Col4", typeof(string));
dtb.Rows.Add("R0C0", "R0C1", "R0C2", "R0C3", "R0C4");
dtb.Rows.Add("R1C0", "R1C1", "R1C2", "R1C3", "R1C4");
dtb.Rows.Add("R2C0", "R2C1", "R2C2", "R2C3", "R2C4");
dtb.Rows.Add("R3C0", "R3C1", "R3C2", "R3C3", "R3C4");
return dtb;
}
Are you maybe getting an error which is not being shown for some reason?
If I use your code, DataGridViewComboBoxCell seems to be populated with values, but I get DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid runtime error.
This test code is working fine for me:
private void dgvCategories_CellContentClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
DataGridViewComboBoxCell cboNewValueList = new DataGridViewComboBoxCell();
List<string> lsNewValuesResult = new List<string>();
lsNewValuesResult.Add("Value1");
lsNewValuesResult.Add("Value2");
lsNewValuesResult.Add("Value3");
foreach (string strListItem in lsNewValuesResult)
{
cboNewValueList.Items.Add(strListItem);
}
dgvCategories[e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex] = cboNewValueList;
// Added setting of initial value
cboNewValueList.Value = cboNewValueList.Items[0];
}
So maybe try setting the initial value for your DataGridViewComboBoxCell after you add it to the DataGridView.
You can consider the following facts about DataGridView:
If you set AutoGenerateColumns to false, then you need to add columns to Columns collection manually.
If you set AutoGenerateColumns to true, when you assign the data to DataSource, the control generates columns automatically for the data source. In this case, the control looks in list of columns of the data source and for each column if there's no column in the Columns collection of the control having the same DataPropertyName as data source's column name, it will add a column to Columns collection.
DataPropertyName of the datagridviews' columns determines the bound column of the data source.
You usually want to add DataGridViewXXXXColumn to columns collection rather than using a DataGridViewXXXXCell for a cell.
If you set EditMode to EditOnEnter, then if you click on dropdown button, one click is enough. If you click on cell content, two clicks is needed.
If you would like to make it single click even if you click on cell content, take a look at this post. (Note: I haven't used this is the example, it's a bit annoying.)
you can set DisplayStyle to Nothing, then it shows the column as a combo box, just in edit mode.
A basic example on using DataGridViewComboBoxColumn
I suppose you are going to show a list of Products having (Id, Name, Price, CategoryId) in a DataGridView and the CategoryId should come from a list of Categories having (Id, Name) and you are going to show CategoryId as a ComboBox.
In fact it's a basic and classic example of DataGridViewComboBoxColumn:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
var categories = GetCategories();
var products = GetProducts();
var idColumn = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn() {
Name = "Id", HeaderText = "Id", DataPropertyName = "Id"
};
var nameColumn = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn() {
Name = "Name", HeaderText = "Name", DataPropertyName = "Name"
};
var priceColumn = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn() {
Name = "Price", HeaderText = "Price", DataPropertyName = "Price"
};
var categoryIdColumn = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn() {
Name = "CategoryId", HeaderText = "Category Id", DataPropertyName = "CategoryId",
DataSource = categories, DisplayMember = "Name", ValueMember = "Id",
DisplayStyle = DataGridViewComboBoxDisplayStyle.Nothing
};
dataGridView1.Columns.AddRange(idColumn, nameColumn, priceColumn, categoryIdColumn);
dataGridView1.EditMode = DataGridViewEditMode.EditOnEnter;
dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
dataGridView1.DataSource = products;
}
public DataTable GetProducts() {
var products = new DataTable();
products.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
products.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
products.Columns.Add("Price", typeof(int));
products.Columns.Add("CategoryId", typeof(int));
products.Rows.Add(1, "Product 1", 100, 1);
products.Rows.Add(2, "Product 2", 200, 2);
return products;
}
public DataTable GetCategories() {
var categories = new DataTable();
categories.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
categories.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
categories.Rows.Add(1, "Category 1");
categories.Rows.Add(2, "Category 2");
return categories;
}

I'm new to WPF and I'm trying to set the value the DataGrid Column "DataGridNumericUpDownColumn" from a Database. I get the data as DataTable and bind it to the DataGrid.
That's the table I fetch my items from.
CREATE TABLE Items
(
ITEM varchar(64),
PART_NUMBER varchar(64),
TYPE varchar(64),
MANUFACTURER varchar(64),
PRICE decimal(32,2) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(ITEM, PART_NUMBER, TYPE, MANUFACTURER),
FOREIGN KEY (MANUFACTURER, TYPE)
REFERENCES ManufacturerType(MANUFACTURER,TYPE)
ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE CASCADE
);
C# Code
private void MetroWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// ITEMS TABLE //
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
StringBuilder command = new StringBuilder();
command.Append("SELECT MIN(ii.IMAGE_PATH) AS IMAGE_PATH, MAX(i.ITEM) AS ITEM, i.PART_NUMBER AS PART_NUMBER, ");
command.Append("MAX(i.TYPE) AS TYPE, MAX(i.Manufacturer) AS MANUFACTURER, i.PRICE FROM ");
command.Append("Items i ");
command.Append("LEFT JOIN Item_Images ii ON i.PART_NUMBER = ii.PART_NUMBER ");
command.Append("GROUP BY i.PART_NUMBER, i.ITEM");
//SETUP COLUMNS FOR ITEMS TABLE
DataTable dt = mysql_database.queryDataFromDatabaseWithSQLCommand(command.ToString());
dgItems.Columns.Add(createImageColumn("IMAGE", new Binding("IMAGE_PATH"), new Size(32, 32)));
foreach (DataColumn dcol in dt.Columns)
{
if (dcol.ColumnName.ToUpper() == "PRICE")
{
dgItems.Columns.Add(createDataGridNumericUpDownColumn(dcol.ColumnName.ToUpper(), "C"));
}
else
{
DataGridTextColumn dgc = new DataGridTextColumn();
dgc.Header = dcol.ColumnName.ToUpper();
dgc.Binding = new Binding(dcol.ColumnName.ToUpper());
dgc.IsReadOnly = true;
dgItems.Columns.Add(dgc);
}
}
dgItems.ItemsSource = dt.DefaultView;
}
The code for creating the DataGridNumericUpDownColumn
public DataGridNumericUpDownColumn createDataGridNumericUpDownColumn(string header, string format)
{
DataGridNumericUpDownColumn dtemp = new DataGridNumericUpDownColumn();
dtemp.Minimum = 0.00;
dtemp.Binding = new Binding("{" + header + "}");
dtemp.StringFormat = format;
dtemp.Header = header;
return dtemp;
}
However when I run my application, the field with the numericupdown is empty.
The value will not be set from the DataTable.
The running tool:
This is what's stored in the database.
The data row in the database:
I'm out of ideas how to get this working. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
I have this table structure
patients:
PK_Patient
PatientID
PatientName
items:
PK_Item
ItemID
ItemDesc
enrolleditems:
PK_EnrollMeds
FK_User_Add
DateTimeAdded
FK_Item
I have a form which has the user included on the form, and datagridview which displays the items enrolled to patient (binded to enrolleditems but items datamember is only displayed on grid), then add and delete button.
The entry on the screenshot is manually added on the database ([MED0001] enrolleditems table) for sample purposes.
On the add button will open another forms which will load all the items and a checkbox to select which item to be added, then a select button which copy the selected datarows to datatable.
I have the below code for the Add button on Enroll Medication form
M3dEntities m3d = new M3dEntities();
enrollmeds _enrollmeds = new enrollmeds();
EnrollMedSelectionFrm enrollselectfrm;
public DataTable SelectedItems { get; set; }
private void AddBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
enrollselectfrm = new EnrollMedSelectionFrm();
var pxdetails = (from adm in m3d.admission
join pxDC in m3d.datacenter
on adm.FK_DC_Patient equals pxDC.PK_Datacenter
where adm.admissionNo == SelectedAdmNo
select new
{
adm,
pxDC
}).FirstOrDefault();
if (enrollselectfrm.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
if (SelectedItems == null)
{
enrollmedsBindingSource.Clear();
}
else
{
enrollmedsBindingSource.Clear();
foreach (DataRow dr in SelectedItems.Rows)
{
_enrollmeds = new enrollmeds();
_enrollmeds.items = new items();
_enrollmeds.FK_DC_Patient = pxdetails.pxDC.PK_Datacenter;
_enrollmeds.FK_DC_userAdd = mainfrm.PK_DC_UserLoggedIn;
var svrDT = ((IObjectContextAdapter)m3d).ObjectContext.CreateQuery<DateTime>("CurrentDateTime() ");
DateTime currdatetime = svrDT.AsEnumerable().First();
_enrollmeds.AddDateTime = currdatetime;
_enrollmeds.FK_Admission = pxdetails.adm.PK_Admission;
int pkItems = int.Parse(dr.Field<string>("PK_Items").ToString());
var itemdtls = (from i in m3d.items
where i.PK_Items == pkItems
select i).FirstOrDefault();
_enrollmeds.FK_Items = pkItems;
_enrollmeds.items.ItemID = itemdtls.ItemID;
_enrollmeds.items.ItemDesc = itemdtls.ItemDesc;
_enrollmeds.items.GenericName = itemdtls.GenericName;
_enrollmeds.items.ItemGroup = itemdtls.ItemGroup;
enrollmedsBindingSource.Add(_enrollmeds);
}
}
}
}
My problem with this is only the first selected item on the itemselection form.
I want to display all the items selected on the itemselection form to the enrollmedsDataGridView of enrollmedicines form.
Thank You in advance..
I want to display grid with multiple columns (like in RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit) after click on cell in column, but if user don't want to pick item from grid, he can write something else (like in RepositoryItemComboBox). How to combine this two features?
//user can write, but only one column
RepositoryItemComboBox cbeMaterialy = new RepositoryItemComboBox();
DataTable dt = Getdt();
cbeMaterialy.Items.Clear();
foreach(DataRow item in dt.Rows)
{
cbeMaterialy.Items.Add(item);
}
gvView.Columns["ColumnName"].ColumnEdit = cbeMaterialy;
//user cannot write but multiple columns
RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit editor = new RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit();
editor.DataSource = dt;
column.ColumnEdit = editor;
//SOLUTION!
I mixed some answer from Devexpress team and came up with this:
public class Main()
{
//user can choose element from DB or write new value
RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit riglue = new RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit();
MyGridLookupDataSourceHelper.SetupGridLookUpEdit(riglue, GetMaterialyDataView(), "Kod", "Kod");
elementsEditGrid.gvView.Columns[ColumnName].ColumnEdit = riglue;
}
///////////////////
public class MyGridLookupDataSourceHelper
{
RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit edit;
public MyGridLookupDataSourceHelper(RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit edit, ITypedList dataSource, string displayMember, string valueMember)
{
this.edit = edit;
//enable writing into RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit
edit.TextEditStyle = DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.TextEditStyles.Standard;
edit.DataSource = dataSource;
edit.DisplayMember = displayMember;
edit.ValueMember = valueMember;
edit.ProcessNewValue += edit_ProcessNewValue;
AddExistingValuesToDataSource();
}
public static void SetupGridLookUpEdit(RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit edit, ITypedList dataSource, string displayMember, string valueMember)
{
new MyGridLookupDataSourceHelper(edit, dataSource, displayMember, valueMember);
}
//Add new values to temporary data source (not to DataBase!)
void edit_ProcessNewValue(object sender, DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.ProcessNewValueEventArgs e)
{
GridLookUpEdit lookUp = sender as GridLookUpEdit;
RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit ri = lookUp.Properties;
DataTable dt = (ri.DataSource as DataView).Table;
DataRow row = dt.NewRow();
row[ri.DisplayMember] = e.DisplayValue;
row[ri.ValueMember] = e.DisplayValue;
dt.Rows.Add(row);
ri.View.RefreshData();
e.Handled = true;
//if user wants to add new values to database (data source)
//INSERT INTO DataSourceTable (ColumnName) VALUES (e.DisplayValue)
}
//Adds to temporary data source values already stored in RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit (in case values aren't from DB)
void ProcessExistingValues(RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit sender, object value)
{
RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit ri = sender;
DataTable dt = (ri.DataSource as DataView).Table;
DataRow row = dt.NewRow();
row[ri.DisplayMember] = value;
row[ri.ValueMember] = value;
dt.Rows.Add(row);
ri.View.RefreshData();
}
private void AddExistingValuesToDataSource()
{
//SELECT from DB values that are already in riglue and add them to TEMPORARY DATA SOURCE (in case values aren't from DB)
//DataView dataView = SELECT ColumnName FROM table WHERE rowID = XXX
foreach (DataRow row in dataView.AsEnumerable())
{
string kod = (string)row["ColumnName"];
ProcessExistingValues(this.edit, kod);
}
}
}
You can set the RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit.TextEditStyle property to Standard and you will be able to type. When a user types something different from what is contained in the lookup data source, the RepositoryItemGridLookUpEdit.ProcessNewValue event will be raised. In the event handler, you can add a new value to the data source to use it further.
RepositoryItemComboBox doesn't has DataSourse property, which allow to bind table with multiple column.
ComboBoxEdit Has DataSourse property, So you can bnd table with multiple column, OR create multiple column.
