  I’m using VB

  I’m using truedbgrids in several locations and the TrueDbDropDowns work flawlessly.

  I have a need to to set one cell as a datetime selection. To do this

          Me.TrueDBGrid.Splits(0).DisplayColumns(NameOf(class.value)).DataColumn.Editor = $DropDownHere
  

  If I were using a TrueDbDropDown I’d be able to use

          Me.TrueDBGrid.Splits(0).DisplayColumns(NameOf(class.value)).ButtonAlways = True
          Me.TrueDBGrid.Splits(0).DisplayColumns(NameOf(class.value)).DropDownList = True
  

  Those don’t seem to keep the drop down arrow though

  See the top screenshot where there is no dropdown under Expire, but in the lower when I click in there is a drop down?

  I like the appearance of the drop down for the date time better than the generic one i have in my first column that doesn’t fill the whole cell, but my primary concern is keeping a permanent drop down error even when cells are not selected.

  Thanks!

  Hi Brandon!

  Currently, there is no workaround to achieve the requested behaviour in the control.

  Be noted that on setting Editor property of a column in the grid, the user can see the control (or button in this scenario) when the cell is in edit mode.

  c1TrueDBGrid1.Columns("CategoryId").Editor = C1TrueDBDropdown1
  
  

  With the above code, setting ButtonAlways property does nothing.

  c1TrueDBGrid1.Splits(0).DisplayColumns("CategoryId").ButtonAlways = True
  
  

  And as you already know, on setting DropDown property along with ButtonAlways property, the user can see buttons without focusing the cell.

  c1TrueDBGrid1.Columns("CategoryID").DropDown = Me.C1TrueDBDropdown1
  c1TrueDBGrid1.Splits(0).DisplayColumns("CategoryId").ButtonAlways = True
  

  Best regards,
  
  Meenakshi
