Custom - DataGridViewCol umn / DataGridViewCel l

[John J. Hughes II]

I am trying to create a custom DataGridViewCel l which is "NOT" derived from
DataGridViewTex tBoxColumn. The painting works fine but I am unable to get
the control into edit mode.

Do I need to manually handle the OnClick, something else, or is there
somewhy to set the edit control?

Edit type is called when the cell is clicked so it seems to be doing
something.

Regards,
John

class clsPMenuColumn : DataGridViewCol umn
{
private System.Data.Dat aSet displayStrings;
public System.Data.Dat aSet DisplayStrings
{
set
{
this.displayStr ings = value;
}
get
{
return this.displayStr ings;
}
}

public override object Clone()
{
clsPMenuColumn cell = (clsPMenuColumn )base.Clone();
cell.DisplayStr ings = this.DisplayStr ings;

return cell;
}

public override DataGridViewCel l CellTemplate
{
get
{
return base.CellTempla te;
}
set
{
if (value != null &&
!value.GetType( ).IsAssignableF rom(typeof(clsP MenuCell)))
throw new InvalidCastExce ption("Must be a Pmenu cell");

base.CellTempla te = value;
}
}
}
}

class clsPMenuCell : DataGridViewCel l
{
private System.Data.Dat aSet DisplayStrings
{
get
{
if (base.OwningCol umn is clsPMenuColumn)
return ((clsPMenuColum n)base.OwningCo lumn).DisplaySt rings;
return null;
}
}

public override object DefaultNewRowVa lue
{

{
return new clsMenuStructur e();
}
}

}
}

Never mind, had to hit F2 for edit mode.
