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.

Answer 1

And, the answer is:

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

The way I do this (in VB.NET) is to declare the dropdown:

Private WithEvents dd As New UltraDropDown

Then set the DataSource, ValueMember, DisplayMember, etc.

Then set the ValueList property of your column to the dropdown:

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

Then on the RowSelected event of the dropdown, call the Update() method for the ActiveRow of the UltraGrid:

Me.ultragrid.ActiveRow.Update()
