Droplist in Header of DataGrid. Possible?

[hoosierprogrammer]

Is it possible to locate a droplist inside the header of a column next
to the headertext?

The droplist is created independent of the datagrid and is not related
to the data in the grid itself.

Has anyone done this?

just add the control to the header item in the itemdatabound event
e.item.cells[23].controls.add(droppdownlist1);
roughly

Thanks Alvin,

That got me pointed in the right direction. A little trouble though.

With this code (below), the single column datagrid disappears except
for the header and it does not have the dropdown in it. I'm pretty
sure that it is firing because when I comment it out, the grid
reappears.

Thoughts?

Thanks for your help.

protected void DGridAllGroupList_ItemDataBound(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
e.Item.Cells[0].Text = "Test";
e.Item.Cells[0].Controls.Add(ddGroup);

}

just add the control to the header item in the itemdatabound event
e.item.cells[23].controls.add(droppdownlist1);

you need to only put the control in the header not the other cells
change your code to

if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Header)

{

e.Item.Cells[0].Text = "Test";
e.Item.Cells[0].Controls.Add(ddGroup);

}

PERFECT !

I'm not quite sure why the cell index needs to be 1 (I was thinking
0), but that's anohter issue.

Thanks for your help. Here's the final code.

e.Item.Cells[1].Controls.Add(ddGroup);

if you have a select button in index 0 then you need to start counting at 1
