I found code on
www.codeproject.com. Here is a sample it
is called DataGridColumnDropDown. I modified it to use
the text box when I wanted it to depended on a certain
search criteria.

This is an addition to it to help with some errors...
Public Class NoKeyUpCombo
Inherits ComboBox
Private WM_KEYUP As Integer = &H101
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As
System.Windows.Forms.Message)
If m.Msg = WM_KEYUP Then
'ignore keyup to avoid problem with tabbing &
dropdownlist;
Return
End If
MyBase.WndProc(m)
End Sub 'WndProc
End Class 'NoKeyUpCombo
Maybe this will help you. Look at the web site for more
info on it.
If you drop this code into a .Net class, you can see that
it has Edit functions and Commit functions etc. Just
modify it to meet your needs & standards.
Hope this helps...
