I have a TNextGrid with various columns, one of which is a TNxComboBoxColumn.

 

This column is populated at runtime with a list of possible values:

 

nxRightToWorkDoc.Items.Clear;
nxRightToWorkDoc.Items.AddStrings(stringlistERTW);

 

Next step is to populate the TNextGrid with the results of a database query using a "while not tbl.EOF do" loop.

 

The problem I'm having is that I do not know how to directly set the .ItemIndex on the TNxComboBoxColumn column for every row in the dataset.

 

I have found this proposed solution:

 

TNxComboBox(nxRightToWorkDocNew.Columns[nxRightToWorkDocNew.Position].Editor).ItemIndex := <value>

 

However, I don't understand how the row is identified in the above piece of code.

 

I would appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction :)

Hi,

For this purpose I suggest using TNxListColumn instead. This column keep as cell value - indexes. So you need to add items as you do in ComboBoxColumn, but then inside cell you set:
 
MyGrid.Cell[x, y].AsInteger := MyDesiredItemIndex;
Hope this helps :)

Thanks, each cell now displays the correct value. :)

 

However, when I click on a cell in runtime it doesn't provide the list of dropped down values to select from, like TNxComboBoxColumn does. Is this not possible, or if it is, how can I enable this behaviour?

 

I set AutoDropDown := True but it has no effect.

Hi,

For this purpose you need to set coEditing flag to True in Options property of Column. In v6 is Editing Boolean property.

Hope this helps.
