Hello All,

I am using the following code to allow drop down in a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn:

VB

Private Sub DataGridView1_CellEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellEnter

        DataGridView1.BeginEdit(True)
        If varMode = 1 Or varMode = 2 Then
            If DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(ddlGroupUnderingrid.Name).Selected = True Then
                DirectCast(DataGridView1.EditingControl, DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl).DroppedDown = True
            End If
        End If

    End Sub

Problem is when the data is prefilled into the grid and i press down arrow to select another option from items of combobox, the selection moved to next row and on pressing tab the 2nd row next cell is selected instead of 1 row.

Pls ask for any more details required.

Thanks in advance

I have checked your code there is no problem which you have wrote.. I have only remark the line of varMode because I have not understand why you have use this..

VB

Private Sub DataGridView1_CellEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellEnter
        DataGridView1.BeginEdit(True)
        'If varMode = 1 Or varMode = 2 Then
        If DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(Me.ComboColumn6.Name).Selected = True Then
            DirectCast(DataGridView1.EditingControl, DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl).DroppedDown = True
        End If
        'End If
    End Sub
