MultiColumn ComboBox, how?

[Lars Netzel]

I have ask this before and I got a link to a solution where you actually
show a new from on top of everything with a listbox in, where you can have
multicolumns.. and that's what I use now.. That look sokay but it's not a
true Combobox... at all..

So my my customer wants to be able to type stuff into the textfield of
combobox and then it's preselected in the list... With the solution I got
that' simposiible.. since there are no real connection between the Combobox
and the Listbox showing on top of all as a form.

How do I do a TRUE MultiColumn Combobox? Is it even possibel to build
without knowing everything about owenerdrawing and that stuff ...

Hi Lars,

I have this from a not ready snippet from me, when you do not understand it
reply. It goes synchroon.

\\\
Dim dt As DataTable = ds.Tables(0)
dv = New DataView(dt)
dv.Sort = "Id"
cma = DirectCast(BindingContext(dv), CurrencyManager)
TextBox1.DataBindings.Clear()
Dim mybinding As Binding = New Binding("text", dv, "Id")
TextBox1.DataBindings.Add(mybinding)
ListBox1.DataSource = dv
ListBox1.DisplayMember = "Id"
ComboBox1.DataSource = dv
ComboBox1.DisplayMember = "Id"
///

I hope this helps?

Thanx, seems like the Code Project one is something I'd need... I wonder why
I did'nt get that link the first time I asked I got the link with the
crappy solution

But... okay.. I still have a problem... I need to add this into a cell in a
datagrid!

How do I do that?

I can't be the first one ever to need a Combobox with multicolumns as a
cell in a Datagrid am i? It's standard in Access 97 .. if you work with
forms there.. but it .NET everything seems tricky!

Lars,

Is it possible that with your next question you add this direct?
