Hello,

I'm trying to change my filter from a regular text box to a combo box selection like the filtering example on the demos section but i cant figure out how to do it...

Anyone managed to do it and can provide some tips?

Thanks ;)

Hi,

You need to assign a ComboBoxCellEditor to the CellEditorType property of your column; this will automatically change the corresponding Editor to a ComboBox in the FilterRow.

<sldg:Column FieldName="CustomerID"

Title="Customer"

Width="185"

CellEditorType="Xceed.Silverlight.DataGrid.ComboBoxCellEditor"

.../>

Hey Alain,

Thank you for your help but unfortunately I still can’t get it to work...

Using the code you provided I indeed got the combo box in my filter row but it came back empty.

I'm sure i need to set the item source for that combo box somewhere but I can’t find where I set that...

Thanks for your help once again,

Johnny.

Hi Johnny,

You are right, you need to bind your ComboBox to a data source. Please take a look at the "LocalDataAccess" sample, as it shows exactly how to achieve the binding. You can find it at the folowing location in your local drive:

 C:\Xceed Samples\Xceed DataGrid for Silverlight v1.1\CSharp\LocalDataAccess

Hey Alain,

Thank you for your tip, i finally figured it out ;)

Johnny.
