ListBox as a DataGrid Cell

[karthik Tamizhmathi]

Hi all, I need to create a custom control DataGrid that should contain ListBox control as one of the column that allow to select a value from multiple values. This is possible in DataGridView. But is it possible in DataGrid ? Thanks in Advance

YES IT IS POSSIBLE... I HAVE DONE IN PAST... I DONT HAVE THE CODE FOR THAT RIGHT NOW.. BU TU CAN GO CHECK OUT IN CsharpCORNER.COM. basically the idea is... fill ur datagrid... then add new column to it, and then add a combo to it.. finally fill ur combos according to the condition..... it is simple but lengthy task... hpoe u can find ur way.....

You can, normally, create column types with cells that host controls of your choosing, whatever they might be. You have to define classes that derive from DataGridViewColumn and DataGridViewCell. Here[^] is shown an example for the case of a DateTimePicker control. Adapt the code to a ListBox. Oh, yes :-) there is some work to do for it, but I guess you enjoy it!

Thanks Mircea, I guess i have clearly mentioned in my query that i can include the ListBox in DataGridView. But i cant include the ListBox in DataGrid. Is it possible ? -- modified at 23:29 Tuesday 30th January, 2007
