Hi,
In Windows Forms the usual approach to add a combobox in a datagrid involves
adding a single combobox to the DataGrid.Contro ls, and then selectively
displaying it as needed when a combobox cell becomes the currentcell.
However I'm looking for a way to add a control to a cell in each row from
the actually set up and source binding of the datagrid. I'd like to have the
combobox visible at all times (kind of hard to know that one can change the
values otherwise), the mentioned approach hides the only combobox once the
cell loses focus, to have it ready for display on the next cell that get
focus.
Does anyone have an article about something like this or have a few hints on
how this could be achieved?

If you have implemented your own DataGrid column extending the
TemplateColumn, you can allways paint an inexistent dropdown using the
System.Windows. Forms.ControlPa int.DrawComboBu tton( .... )
method.

G'day,
After doing much searching and pinching bits of ideas from here there and
everywhere I came up with a fairly 'clean' solution of including a comboBox
into a dataGrid column.
You can download a fully working C# sample with the Northwind.mdb here:

a combo box column in one grid, and then click in the combo column of...

I have a datagrid containing a single combobox column. It also contains an
'Add New Row' button at the bottom of the datagrid. The datagrid is in a
form that contains 'Save' and 'Restore' buttons. The 'Save' button saves all
the data from the dataset to the database. The 'Restore' button resets the
datagrid to the values contained in it at the last 'Save' operation.

I have, in earlier projects, had som serious problems with ComboBoxColumns
in a datagrid. And now I'm in a projects where I needs sometthing like that
again.. but I really do not want to work with Datagrid in Windows.Form cause
they are buggy and ComboBoxes are not easy to work with there (especially
not when you need Multi Columns in the Comboboxes as well).
Is there a better way or a better object to use when doing this sort of
stuff?...

Hi
The first set of source code is the class for a combobox in a grid,
hopefully. In the second set of code we try to use the combobox class, but
the grid is empty.
I don't understand how this works. The first set of code I downloaded from
internet and when i tried it, it worked fine. But when I changed the second
part of the code it started to give me trouble. Before I changed the code
they used Datacolumns,Datarows and Datatables and...

Within my datagrid I add a control to the datagridtextboxcolumn when

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
