combobox in datagridview requires 2 clicks to drop down

[rut]

It appears that when you first click on the combo box that it just sets the
focus to the control, then the 2nd click makes it drop down. Is there a way
to make this work with just one click?

This is very annoying as a user to have to click twice whenever I use the
combo box in the datagridview.

Thanks,
rut

Can you create a handler for the Enter event which is fire when the
control gets focus that sets the DroppedDown property of the combo box
to true?

private void comboBox1_Enter(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
comboBox1.DroppedDown = true;
}

I thought about that but I'm unsure how to create a handler and attach it to
the grid's combo box. Does anyone know how?

Hi,

i also had that problem. you can solve this, when you change the EditMode of your DataGridView to "EditOnEnter" in der properties window, or in the code:

datagridview.EditMode = DataGridViewEditMode.EditOnEnter;

then the combobox drops down on the first click!

hope that helps,
