ComboBox - Alternative coloured rows, like a datagrid

Hi all,

Is it possible to have alternative coloured rows in a ComboBox?

If so please can some one point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance

This functionality is not included out of the box, but you can set the
combobox' 'DrawMode' property to 'OwnerDraw*' and draw the items yourself
(events 'DrawItem', 'MeasureItem').

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.

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. When I have 3 entries (rows) populated within the datagrid. If I delete...

I'm sure this is a fairly basic question, but I've been looking all over the web for days for suggestions on how to do this. I've got a datagrid that's bound to a dataset on my form. It includes several columns, the last of which (with the header Quantity) contains int16 values. When a user selects a row, I would like to have a combobox on the form display the values from 1 to the number in the Quantity column (e.g., the selected row has...

I have derived a ComboBoxColumnStyle that inherits DataGridColumnStyle. It works fine except for one behavior. If the user selects a new value from the ComboBox's pulldown list on a brand new record, the ComboBoxColumn's Commit event doesn't fire. If the user first edits a TextBox cell on the same New row, and THEN selects a new value for the ComboBox cell, Commit fires. What is going on and how do I get around it Thanks Pat

Hi I have a datagrid with a combo box, I need to populate the combo with data dependant on the record value. eg for record 1, field Warehouse = 2R so combo would allow selection of locations valid for 2R record 2 has Warehouse = 2M so combo on that row has a selection of locations valid for 2M I can set the combo datasource but can't see how to set it on a row by row basis.
