Combobox in datagrid, again...

[Richard Hallgren]

Hi,

In Windows Forms the usual approach to add a combobox in a datagrid involves
adding a single combobox to the DataGrid.Controls, 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.ControlPaint.DrawComboButton( .... )

method.
