Hi all,
I would like to create a component that simulates the functionality
of an MS Access table, through a Datagrid combined with comboboxes,
datetime selectors and checkboxes.
So when a table is dispayed through this datagrid all the foreign
keys will be displayed in a combobox which will display the foreign key
string and with value the ID of that foreign key to be used in the
current table. Also all the dataetime fields to be able to have a
datetime picker so the value returned from this be put in the table. I
would also like all the boolean fields to be displayed as comboboxes.
Actually this would pretty much simulate an Access table...

How can I do something like this?

thanks in advance,
pnp
