I would like to populate a dropdown column type by using a dynamic data source - instead of having a static list of items. Has anyone been able to figure out how to do this? Thanks for any insight!

Do you mean you look for something like this http://demo.koolphp.net/Examples/KoolGrid/Advanced/Ajax_Template/index.php
If it is true, then you look for the GridTemplate feature.

Yes, that's what I was looking for - Thanks

I pasted the sample code into a test script and I get the following error messages
Warning: mysql_set_charset() expects parameter 2 to be resource, null given in /var/www/KoolControls/KoolGrid/koolgrid.php on line 1
Warning: mysql_query() expects parameter 2 to be resource, null given in /var/www/KoolControls/KoolGrid/koolgrid.php on line 1

More warnings and message display and then a small grid at the bottom. I can try to enter a new company, but the Continent and Country drop downs do not have any values. I've checked the database, and there are values in both tables. All the other demo pages seem to work ok...

Hi,
simple one...
mysql connection
........

	
$column = new GridDropDownColumn();
$column->HeaderStyle->Align = "center";
$column->DataField = "fieldnameX";
$column->HeaderText = "Name";
    $result = mysql_query('select * from tableA');
    while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
    {
       $column->AddItem($row["fieldnameX"],$row["fieldnameX"]);
	 }
$grid->MasterTable->AddColumn($column);
