combobox in datagrid

[atul_moghe]

hi guys, i've datagrid in my windows form and i've implemented combobox in one of the datagrid column. Now my problem is tht when i click on tht text of the comboboxcolumn it converts into dropdown and if i click it again it opens and show me all the available values. so in this case to see and select the value i have to click it twice. but i need to do it with one click. how can i do tht. Or there is an another option but i dont know how to implement it. it is like when i bind my grid every row should have the combobox for a perticular column. ie. every combo should remain forever unlike in the normal case when it comes only when u try to edit a perticular row. plz give me some solution.. thnx in advance A R MOGHE.

...so in this case to see and select the value i have to click it twice. but i need to do it with one click. how can i do tht. i've never done but try to handle the "VisibleChanged" event in your columnstyle and popup the combobox. ...it is like when i bind my grid every row should have the combobox for a perticular column. ie. every combo should remain forever unlike in the normal case when it comes only when u try to edit a perticular row. your DatagridComboboxColumn has one instance of your combobox and shows it until one cell will be edited. if you like to show the combobutton in each cell of your column you have to draw it you own. you can use system.Windows.Forms.ControlPaint.DrawComboButton in your onPaint method good luck
