Get reference to Combobox in Datagridview

hvj
Hi all,

I'm stuck on the following seemingly easy issue?

When I know the row nr and column nr of a cell in a datagridview with
a combobox in it how do I get a reference to that combobox?

Help would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Henk

Something like (for row 1, column 2):

Dim ddlYourDropDown As DropDownList =
CType(CType(Me. GridView1.Contr ols(0),
Table).Rows(1). Cells(2).FindCo ntrol("ddlYourD ropDown"), DropDownList)

Thanks for the try Leon, but gridview1.Contr ols does not contain
something that can be cast to Table. In my case it only contains the
scrollbars.

I found out that there isn't even a edit control for every cell. Not
until some cell gets in the editmode an edit control is instantiated.
And with dataGridview.Ed itingControl it can be retreived.

I have been searching all over the web for a way to sort a DataGridView based on the actual text being shown in a ComboBox column as opposed to the underlying value (an ID in this case). Can anyone tell me if this is even possible, and if so, how to do it? If this is completely impossible, how would you suggest going about sorting a ComboBox wherein the text displayed in the column is the client's name, and the underlying value is an ID? ...

I have a datagridview control, and one column is a ComboboxColumn. I simply create a ComboboxColumn, add items to it, then add the column to the Datagridview control. If I were working with a simple ComboBox, I could capture an event that fired everytime the selected item changed. Is that possible if the DatagridView control? I've looked at various events, but none give me what I want. For example, the CellEndEdit event won't fire...
