Any help is very much appreciated.

Under the "keep it simple" approach, how about a regular single
textbox, and parse the value via a TypeConverter, i.e. "13 x 5 x 6",
or "13w 5l 6h" or something...? (trying to avoid locale decimal /
block separators in any such delimiters)

Or better yet, embed a single custom control that does what he wants. Maybe an expandable control that looks like this:

-Dimension 10 x 5 x 8
Length 10
Width 5
Height 8

Also have a look here. It may or may not be helpful (for implementing the above) depending on what you're doing. It's by the manager of the "DataGridView" at MSFT:

I have a datagridview which must have 3 textbox's in a single cell per
row:

Where does the single cell requirement come from?

textbox1 for Length
textbox2 for Width
textbox3 for Height

That really sounds more like three separate columns would be appropriate.

I can't help with the complex DataGridView customisation, but I'd be
interested in anything anybody posts ;-p
