Hi Tanya,
Thanks for the reply.
I have a scenario where I need to show a flexmonster grid in a popup. I am able to achieve it.

  1. Then I need editable grid that also I am able to achieve with

           options: {
           grid: {
           type:flat
           },
           editing:true
          }
2. Then I need one of the column for all rows as a drop down box with values.
For this I have tried to change the cell.text property, it works. But I was not able to change it for a particular cell and a column-
cell.text = "<select><option>1</option><option>2</option></select>";
and with "editing:true" this drop down is not behaving properly.
attached image, this UI design I want to achieve with editable grid.

Hi Anchal!
Yes, I understand your need. Unfortunately, drop down is not applicable for editing in the current version. However, we can add such feature as a customization. If you are interested in customization project you can discuss it with your Client Service Manager.
Thanks,

Hello Anchal,
Thank you for writing. Currently, the context menu for the multiple selection is not available. Could you please specify your use case with more details? It would be much easier for us to find a suitable solution for you.
Waiting to hear from you.

Hi Dmyrto,
Thanks for reply.
I have a scenario, where I am suppose to open a popup similar to drill through view for a particular row selection and multiple row selection via context menu. For single cell, context menu approach is working. But for multiple cell selection, context menu is not working, due to focus out from cells. So I am using a button now to get multiple selected rows using getSelectedCell() method.

Hello Anchal,
Thank you for the explanation. Currently, the context menu is not available for the multiple cells selection since the drill through feature is not supported for multiple cells selection.
Please let us know how critical the context menu feature for multiple cells is for you?

Dmyrto

Hi Dmyrto,
Thank you for response.
Dmyrto, I would like to know about the drill through feature on each cell. How does it work internally, as it pulls all the columns and their data and show them on a Details pop up. I want the same functionality to be implemented for single and multiple cell selection and then.
Multiple cell selection is not so much critical for me now. But it is good to have it with flex new release.
Thanks

Hello Anchal!
Yes, I understand your need. The feature sounds reasonable but honestly saying I'm not sure that we will add it in one of the nearest builds. If the priority of this functionality will become more critical please don't hesitate to ask your Client Service Manager for help.
Thanks,
