Datagrid Change text to dropdown for single row?

[vituja123]

Me Again,

Since I could get this to work (

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1132518&page=1)

Is it possible to change the Textbox control to a dropdownlist for a single row inside a datagrid?

If e.Item.DataItem("Field_ID") = 6 Then
Dim DLIST As New DropDownList
DLIST.ID = "DList1"
DLIST.Items.Add("0")
DLIST.Items.Add("25")
DLIST.Items.Add("50")
DLIST.Items.Add("75")
e.Item.Cells(1).Controls(0)= DLIST
end if

Fisrst, where are you placing this code, what event? I assume it is the ItemDataBound event of the grid.

Yes, it is in the item bound event. I don't want to add the control (since it loses its value after postback),

Instead I just want to change its type from textbox to dropdown.

Dim DLIST As New DropDownList

DLIST.ID = "DList1"
DLIST.Items.Add("0")
DLIST.Items.Add("25")
DLIST.Items.Add("50")
DLIST.Items.Add("75")
e.Item.Cells(1).Controls.Add(DLIST)
******************* instead of .ADD how can I change/modify the current textbox???

I don't see any way of doing that. The best idea I could come up with is to add the type of control to the DG that you want based on some condition. But I think that may cause you problems based on your last thread.
