Hey,
i have a simple winforms app with a grid to list all my customers. I want to have a column to select multiple countries (some customers are available in multiple countries). I thought i can use a repositoryitem searchlookupedit with multiselect, but all my tries are not working yet. Can you give me an example of this (Grid, Column, Editor, Binding, ViewModel)?
Thank you
Nico
Hello,
LookUpEditors are intended to choose a single value. Use the CheckedComboBoxEdit editor to select several entries. I've attached a simple project demonstrating how it works.
CheckedComboBoxEdit displays items that exist in its Items collection. So, make sure that all necessary countries are added to this collection.
Drop me a line if you have any further questions.
Hi Nico,
CheckedComboBoxEdit supports the incremental search. Open its popup and start typing "g" to see Germany. The editor will immediately scroll the first found entry.
Is this option suitable for your scenario?
Hey Andrew,
i tried the incremental search and showed my customer, but unfortunately, its not enough for them. They want the search and filter possibility like it is in the search lokup edit… How would you do this? Manually with a popupEdit?
Hi Nico,
Yes, you are right. The easiest approach would be using PopupContainerEdit with a grid in its PopupContainerControl. See this approach in action in the How to provide the MultiSelect functionality for GridLookUpEdit example. You can make the inner grid look like a grid in SearchLookUpEdit by showing the FindPanel. Enable the GridView.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible option for this.
Please try it and let me know how it goes.
