i have a VS 2005 VB.Net application with WinGrid v 7.3.20073.1043
I have added a dropdown to the form which i populate from a data source object.
it is then a reference to a field in a grid as a dropdown for a cell. When i run the program, the cell functions properly. The dropdown allows me to select the item and it updates the grid.
however, my customer cannot select a value. She can click on the dropdown which displays the values, but she is unable to select an item.
this is quite a problem for them. Any suggestions?
She is running on Windows XP Pro, I am running Vista. I can run it on their Windows 2003 server and it works fine.
Thanks, Harold
The only speculation I can offer given the lack of details here is that the application is running under limited trust, i.e., in a browser where the code doesn't have top-level window permissions.
THe customer's admin has informed me that the users are "Power Users" and the next level would be Admin. They obviously don't want to set Admin privileges for all users.
You mentioned a lack of details, what other info would be helpful?
Clicking on the list will highlight the item, but not select the item and close the drop down. Keyboard doesn't work either. Enter key doesn't work.This is a windows application, not a web application.
They have the same issue when running via Remote application or on their local XP computer.
Do the dropdowns in the parameter selection box below the grid exhibit the same behavior? Does double clicking on the item in the dropdown do anything?

The dropdowns in the parameter section are Windows ComboBox controls. They work fine.
Double click doesn't help.
also, i can't remember if i mentioned it previously, but when i log onto the remote computer as an adiminstrator, the dropdowns work fine. Would re-registering the .dll's make any difference?

That's very strange. That seems to indicate that there is, in fact, some kind of permissions issue happening. But I can't imagine any issue of permissions that would prevent the dropdown from handling a click that was directly on it. And if the item is getting highlighted, then clearly the dropdown is receiving the click message.

I doubt it. It can't hurt to make sure your development PC and the client machine are using the same versions of the Infragistics assemblies. But since it works for you remotely logged in as an admin, the assemblies are obviously working in some cases.
