  I am working with the FlexGrid control and I have several columns that I have added drop down lists to via code using the “DataMap” method. It works just fine.

  My issue is this. In one example, the drop down list contains a list of part numbers (the display member) and the underlying value member is the corresponding record ID. I have no problem retrieving the PartID value using code similar to:

  PartID = fgQuoteDetails.Rows(x).Item(“PartID”)

  In some instances, I need to get the display member though rather than the value member for that drop down list. I am not sure how to get that. Any suggestions?

  Thanks,

  Mike

  Hi Mike,

  You just need to use the grid’s method GetDataDisplay to retrieve the corresponding display member. Code snippet is given below:

  
  Dim name As String = C1FlexGrid1.GetDataDisplay(rowIndex, colIndex)
  
  

  Documentation link: https://help.grapecity.com/componentone/NetHelp/c1flexgrid/webframe.html#C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.4~C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase~GetDataDisplay.html

  Please refer the attached sample which demonstrates how to retrieve Display Member as soon as a cell is edited in the corresponding column. You can use the same approach in your scenario.

  Thanks,
