How do I mimic the excel "insert Comment" in datagridview

Question

I admire the excel "insert comments" cell option. I would like to reproduce this in my datagridview in .net 2.0 using c#. Could somebody give me an idea as to the approch I should take on creating the edit box.

Thanks c# winforms, .net 2.0

Answer 1

A simple overview would be to create a form that looks like the insert dialog from Excel, and implement the various options (shifting cells up/down, inserting a new row/column).

You will need to add a context menu strip to the datagridview with a insert menu item, and when that is clicked have your insert dialog pop up.
