Making a DataGridView table that is full of ComboBox's... possible? (Y/N)

[twardzik69]

Here's my vision:

Around 30 ComboBox's (let's say 6 rows and 5 columns) and they are all in a DataGridView, so I can use some of the features of the datagridview.

I saw (accidentally) how it's possible to have checkboxes in a DataGridView, so I'm pretty certain it's possible to put a ComboBox in there (unless I'm totally wrong), but I'm not sure how.

Whoever can answer this is a l33t h8x0r extreme. thanks!

I managed to incorporate Combo Boxes in a MFC Grid Control (as written by Chris Maunder) (v2.25).

Here's the relevant code I used:

#include "GridCtrl_src/GridCtrl.h"
#include "NewCellTypes/GridCellCombo.h"


....
	CGridCtrl m_Grid;

....
	DDX_GridControl(pDX, IDC_GRID, m_Grid);

....

	CStringArray options;
	options.Add(_T("----"));
	options.Add(_T("Option 1"));
	options.Add(_T("Option 2"));
	options.Add(_T("Option 3"));
	options.Add(_T("Option 4"));

	m_Grid.SetCellType(j,i, RUNTIME_CLASS(CGridCellCombo));
	CGridCellCombo *pCell = (CGridCellCombo*) m_Grid.GetCell(j,i);
	pCell->SetOptions(options);
	pCell->SetStyle(CBS_DROPDOWN); //CBS_DROPDOWN, CBS_DROPDOWNLIST, CBS_SIMPLE

I hope this helps you somehow.
