How to visualize a field as a ComboBox in a grid.

1.  Through the Field Component source add a Picklist visualization ( PRIM_EVPL ) and a Picklist. Note that these are separate classes in the Field source. Add PicklistItems for Male and Female to the Picklist.

2.  Save the field.

3.  Create a grid component. From the fields tab add the SEX field to the grid as a column. Set the following properties on the column:

...

     ReadOnly = FALSE.

...

     DisplayAppearance=Edit

...

     EditAppearance=Edit

...

     UsePicklist = TRUE.

4.  Load the grid and the column can  be edited as a dropdown combo.
