Lookup in DataGridView? Any Progress? Worth Trying?

[Patrick A]

In a DataGridView, is it possible to have a column that manages user
input by providing a "drop down" list of values the user can choose
from, with those values either being "spelled out" in code or read
from another db.table.column?

If so, does anyone know where I might find instructions on how to set
that up?


I've seen lots of old posts on this topic, but nothing necessarily
specific to the latest incarnation of the DataGrid, the DataGridView.


Is it worth trying to pop a List Box on the ColEdit event, let the
user "select" from the List Box, and "write" the value the user
selects to the cell they are editing?

Thanks,

Patrick

Was just told about the
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.controls group, and may
have found my answer.

Anyone had luck with this?
