Adding a Combo drop down to a grid

[Farooq]

I am trying include a drop down combo box in a grid. How can I do that ? I want the users to select from a pre-defined list of choice when they move to a certain column in the grid . This needs to be the case for every row on the grid. Any suggestions ?

Hi,

I've done something like this but I use special DropDown and Grid components (Sheridan software) so this is how I did this but I don't know if it can apply to your case :


In the InitColumnsProps event of the grid I told him to
bind a dropdown control on one of it's specific rows like this :

grdLecteur.Columns("BaudRate").DropDownHwnd = ddBaudRates.hWnd

The grdLecteur is my grid and the ddBaudrates is the dropdown.

Hope it helps...

Depending on your grid your can select the Style in the properties. You can either add during the design time or add during the run-time from a recordset or what ever.

I use Apex True DBGrid for all my grid programming. It's a great vb component that I use as a basis for many applications. Of course it also support dropdown lists. I suggest you download an evaluation copy from http://www.apexsc.com and see for yourself. It takes away a lot of the pain in grid programming.
