Telerik Winforms 2010 SP1 - RadGridView - Populate ComboBoxColumn Data Source at Runtime

Assume you have a grid view radGridView1 and you have a combobox column in it. The column's header text is "Status".

You could use the following code to populate its data source at runtime.

void radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Column.HeaderText == "Status")
  {
    RadComboBoxEditor editor = this.radGridView1.ActiveEditor as RadComboBoxEditor;
    RadComboBoxEditorElement element = editor.EditorElement as RadComboBoxEditorElement;

    element.DataSource = new string[] { "UP", "DOWN" };    

    element.SelectedValue = null;
    element.SelectedValue = this.radGridView1.CurrentCell.Value;
  }
}
