To reproduce: use the following code snippet: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); GridViewComboBoxColumn supplierColumn = new GridViewComboBoxColumn("SupplierID"); supplierColumn.DataSource = this.suppliersBindingSource; supplierColumn.ValueMember = "SupplierID"; supplierColumn.DisplayMember = "ContactName"; supplierColumn.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDown; this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(supplierColumn); this.radGridView1.CellEditorInitialized += radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized; } private void radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e) { RadDropDownListEditor editor = e.ActiveEditor as RadDropDownListEditor; if (editor != null) { RadDropDownListEditorElement el = editor.EditorElement as RadDropDownListEditorElement; el.SelectedIndexChanging -= el_SelectedIndexChanging; el.SelectedIndexChanging += el_SelectedIndexChanging; el.SelectedIndexChanged -= el_SelectedIndexChanged; el.SelectedIndexChanged += el_SelectedIndexChanged; } } private void el_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs e) { Console.WriteLine("Changed"); } private void el_SelectedIndexChanging(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangingCancelEventArgs e) { e.Cancel = true; } private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.suppliersTableAdapter.Fill(this.nwindDataSet.Suppliers); } When the editor is initialized you will notice that the editor's value can be changed by using the mouse wheel no matter that the SelectedIndexChanging event is cancelled.
