Hi,

We are getting closer.

Most the time the user knows what the Part Number is and does not need to look in the Drop Down.  Also, the Part Number may not be in the Drop Down but we do not want to limit the User to the Drop Down as the Part Number they need is not in the database yet.

This works fine if the User Waits before pressing the Tab Key.

However as explained before, "If the User types in the WebCombo rather than selecting from the Drop Down, the User can Tab off the WebCombo before it is finished loading."

• In this case, IsInProgess is false.  It probably has not started,

To Reproduce Timing issue:

• Double Click in the Product Number Column to get into Edit Mode
  
• Type "8" then quickly press the Tab Key
  
  The idea here is to type something other than what might already be loaded.

Results:

- Product Name is not loaded

The symptoms are the same in IE, Mozilla, Chrome and Safari

Any other ideas?

Type="Phrase" would not allow me to type in the WebInput.

After removing it allowed me to type.

I appears not to be needed as part of the temporary workaround.

Hi,

It appears to be a Life Cycle issue.

WebGrid needs something before the _GridView_RowDataBound Server Event which sets OrderID_TextBox.Text = "10643"

OrderID_TextBox is a SqlDataSource SelectParameter which is used by the WebGrid

I have provided a simplified example.  You will need to change the ConnectionString.

Everything works fine until the OrderID_TextBox attribute Text="10643", Line 79 is removed.

-- The WebGrid must be loaded manually

-- Activating the WebCombo produces "Can't find WebCombo.NET instance with ID ''

I tried putting a OrderDetails_WebGrid.DataBind() in the _GridView_RowDataBound Server Event but that did not help.

Since I am not going to know the OrderID value until _GridView_RowDataBound Server Event, what must I do to provide that value to the WebGrid?

Hi,

At first I didn't think your sample was working because the only item in the DropDown was the Selected Item.

Adding WebCombo.LayoutSettings.AlwaysShowAllRowsOnDropdown true made it reveal the rest of the items.

To confirm, there is now way to get the WebCombo ValueList in the Server-Side IntializeRow Event or get the Row Data and Column Controls at the same time?

The keys to your sample where to:

- add a hidden column to WebCombo to Filter on.

- WebGrid.ClientSideEvents.OnEnterEditMode did a WebCombo.SetAdditionalFilters

In the WebGrid.ClientSideEvents.OnEnterEditMode, the lookup value exists in a WebGrid Column.  In my case I don't need to display that info to the User and if make it not visible, I can not get the Value using a GetCell() Method.

My current work around is make the WebGrid.Width 0, but I still see some of it.

Is there a cleaner way to get the Value so I don't have to show it in the Grid?

Thanks,

Doug

Thank you for confirming my observations.

As stated in my first posting:

"I have looked at the OnInitializeRow Server-Side Event and can get the Row Values but can not figure out how to get to the ValueList of the DropDownList or WebCombo in that Row."

So, how do I populate the DropDownList/WebComboNet based on a value in that row which may be different per row?

Are there any solutions?
