3.0: Editable grid with dropdown

[PaulL1]

Has anyone done any work on using widgets other than an input inside the editable feature?

I'm having issues with dropdowns within an edit, refer this plunkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/TMB14DquOmXN42V03E6P?p=preview

It brings the dropdown up just fine, but it doesn't go away again when the cell loses focus. I think the problem is perhaps that the blur event is being consumed by the dropdown without being propogated, so there's no "lose focus". But it also doesn't appear to go back to the base cellTemplate if you use the arrow keys.

In the absence of some more elegant solution, is it possible to just end editing on any cells still being edited if/when a new cell is selected? Whether that be receiving focus or actually starting editing?

For every complex widget you need to support, you must create a directive to communicate that the widget has completed editing.

see the uiGridEditor directive in gridEdit.js. you will need something similar for dropdown with needed events wired up to emit:
uiGridEditConstants.events.END_CELL_EDIT
uiGridEditConstants.events.CANCEL_CELL_EDIT

Excellent, thanks for that. I'll see if I can add one to the edit feature.
