selectionlist tied to column of datagrid?

[Guest]

The vb6 datagrid had a "button" property which I used to display a dropdown icon in a cell. I created a popup menu that would display the list of valid choices for that cell when the user clicked the dropdown icon. In vb.net I havn't been able to figure out how to display that little dropdown icon in a datagrid cell. Anybody know how to display the dropdown icon in the datagrid and the best way to display a list of valid entries which the user can select from

Thanks
Erik

Hi,

I think you are looking to put a combobox in the datagrid.

Hi Erik,

I saw that link Ken gave you and than I thougth I can give you the link to
Jan Tielens datagrid.

And than I saw I had also this one, it is only in C# but maybe you get an
idea from it.
