Convert data column into combo box column

[oh704]

Hi All,

I've a datagridview that's populated by a datatable from a SQL. there's a column named "VOTE" in which there can only be 2 string values: "ACCEPT", "REJECT".

How do I set up a combobox on this "Vote" column and only have these two values as choose? and have a warning for any other values entered...

also, is it possible to do autocomplete with typing?

I did a search a found a couple of threads, but the ones i've gone through are making a combo box column in addition to the current dataset. what i am looking for is to convert a column from the sql dataset, to be able to select value from a drop down.

please advise.
Thanks.
