MultiColumn ComboBox

[Aaron Smith]

I would like to try to make a combo box have multiple columns. Does
anyone know of a good way to attempt this? I saw a project on
thecodeproject to do this, I just didn't like the way it looked. I want
it to look almost like a datagrid with column lines in it to seperate
the columns.. And, I would like to make it bigger than what the combo
control itself is... Example.. They click the down button on the combo
box, and it opens the drop down window, but that window is bigger than
the box for the combo box and it has columns in it of the table that it
is bound to..

In the message, I had stated that I already saw that one and didn't like
the way it looks... Plus... "Unfortunately, this control does not
support DataBinding." That won't work for me.
