hey thanks for the response.
When I was looking into this I set some breakpoints in my code and it was indeed calling for a data refresh on every edit mode request for the drop down list column. It wasn’t exhibiting that behavior for the other column types (text box, check box).
Regardless, I have taken steps to avoid the latency so this has become a non-issue. I moved to data arrays in local java-script variables rather than calling off to a page to get the data. unfortunately i believe that this new approach has resulted in storing the data twice on the client (once in the local variable and once in the grid objects) but oh well.
Thanks again.
Phil.
