Like Luc said, this ain't easy at all. I've just scrapped together a test and found it's quite complex. On top of this, you'll have to create your own version of the DataGridViewTextBoxColumn class to even start using this is a DGV. Great, even more complexity! Have you ever created a custom DataGridViewColumn class? Not easy, nor fun! You really have to start asking yourself if this little feature is really worth the effort?? Is it cheaper to possibly find a grid control that already has this capability compared to your cost to develop it?? (Cost to develop = estimated time to complete * what you get paid an hour) Where I work, there are certain people that think internal tools and controls are really cheap to write. Yeah, right... I've got an HTA app (mostly VBScript) that only my team uses. It took me about 3 weeks to write it, costing the company well over $4,000! Again, is it worth the time?
