DataGridView showing Unbounded Combo Box with DropDown Style

JB
Hi All,

I have a DataGridView with a column showing a combo box containing non
binded values (i.e. I set the values in the Combo myself using
ComboBoxColumn. Items.Add).

I also want this Combo Box to allow the user to enter any value as
well as the one from the drop down list.

I've managed to set the style of the Combo Box to
ComboBoxStyle.D ropDown and I can type any value in the combo, but when
I get out of the control I get a DataError exception. It looks like
DGV tries to match the string I entered with one of the value in the
drop down list.

I've tried using the CellFormatting and CellParsing events but without
success. Can anybody suggest a way to do this?

Thanks
JB

Ok, this is an odd one, but I could use some assistance with the framework 2 in VB.Net... I want to have a DataGridViewColumn, only have it use the ComboBox, then when they drop down the combobox, open up another datagridview instead of the combobox dropdownlist. The reason I want to do this, is so I can show more than one column at a time in the drop down list. Instead of trying to make a multi-column combo, I thought it would be much...

Hi, I have a problem with the datagridview not refreshed when the application first appear on the screen. The datagridview display data from a table in the dataset.

When the applications start, it will need some parameter criteria selection...

This is on .Net 2.0 in a WinForms application. I have a DataGridView that is bound to a BindingSource. The DataGridView has 3 columns. The first two are "normal" text columns and the last is a combo box column. Data binding is working fine for the first two columns. I am able to edit values and persist them back to the bound object and ultimately back to the database.

Gday, I have a datagridview that I am creating the columns programatically which all seems to work fine. I have a couple of dropdown boxes, so I have set the editMode= EditOnEnter. Now my checkboxes dont seem to work, and the datagridview throws a dataerror when I try to leave the cell after trying to check/uncheck the checkbox?!

Gday, Why would all my checkboxes inside a datagridview stop working (ie checked state not updating when user clicks) when the datagridview's editmode property is changed to "EditOnEnter"? It seems to return an error: "Formatted Value of the cell has wrong type". It works fine when the datagridview's editmode property is
