I'm trying to create a ComboBox in a ReportControl. For a specific column I want all of the rows to have a ComboBox. I tried the following at the time in which I create the columns for the RC:

Set column = ReportCntrl.Columns.Add(11, "xxx", 2, True)

column.EditOptions.AddComboButton

column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Yes", 0
column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "No", 1
column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Unknown", 2

The column does get created but no ComboBox appears once Records populate the RC. So then I tried adding Records and then adding the ComboBox to the proper ReportRecordItem like so:

Set Item = Record.AddItem("xxx")

Item.CreateEditOptions

Item.EditOptions.AddComboButton

Item.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Yes", 0
Item.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "No", 1
Item.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Unknown", 2

Still no ComboBox appears. Is there something I'm not doing here that causes the ComboBox to not appear?

ComboBox is shown when you click an item and start editing.


Set column = ReportCntrl.Columns.Add(11, "xxx", 2, True) 

column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Yes", 0
column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "No", 1
column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Unknown", 2

column.EditOptions.AllowEdit = False
column.EditOptions.ConstraintEdit = True


column.EditOptions.AddComboButton

Well, yes, I guess I should have mentioned that I did click on the item. The ComboBox still did not appear. Should I be creating the ComboBox when I create the columns as in my first code example or later, when I add Records? Given that it does not appear in either example after clicking on the Item what could I be doing wrong? Is there some attribute I need to set on the Column or ReportRecordItem for the ComboBox to appear after clicking upon it?

Ensure that editing is enabled at all on your control:


.AllowEdit = True

Thanks, that was the ticket.
