Infragistics UltraGrid: How to force a CellUpdate event after user selects from drop down.

Question

Infragistics UltraGrid: Column has a drop down with auto-complete. How can I force a CellUpdate when the user selects an item from the list and not have to wait for him to hit enter or click a different cell.

Thanks.

Answer 2

The way we do it is to declare the Dropdown

Private WithEvents dd As New UltraDropDown

Set the data source, value member, Display member etc.

Set the value list property of your column to the dd

"Me.ultragrid.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns("Name").ValueList = dd"

Then on the "row selected" event of DD call the update event for active row of ultra grid.

"Me.ultragrid.ActiveRow.Update"

And, the answer is:

grid.AfterCellListCloseUp += delegate { grid.UpdateData(); };
