Is there in .net framework some way to get a combobox (box w/ drop-down list) in datagrid cell for Windows forms? Some control or some method of the DataGrid control?
How to resolve the situation with combobox??
 
You can add a combo box (or checkbox etc) dynamically to a data grid by adding the combobox to the textbox that is present by default.

Try this -

DataGridTextBoxColumn dgTextBox = (DataGridTextBoxColumn)dgdDataGrid.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[0];
dgTextBox.TextBox.Controls.Add (cmbComboBox);

I have done this and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Everything appears to be working ok, but I never see the combobox appear when enter the textbox of the grid I associated it to. What I am doing wrong or am I misunderstanding the functionality of this thread? I would have expected the combobox to become active in this cell.

Thank You,
Mike
 
This is working fine in an application I've written, only thing I can think of is namespaces. I'm using these -

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;
using System.Text;
