In a Windows forms application, how can I use a listbox in a DataGridView coloumn instead of a combobox

Question

I'm working on a windows forms application that uses a DataGridView. Some of the cells contain a DataGridViewComboBox. In some cases, I have several values to display in the combobox. For that scenario, it would be better to use a ListBox instead of a ComboBox. Is it possible to use a multi-column listbox within a DataGridView instead of a ComboBox? If so, can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks much.

Answer 1

Would the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn Class work for your use case?

If not, then only other option that I'm aware of is to subclass the ComboBox and paint it yourself.
