Is there an easy to create a combo box column in a datagrid to display a drop down list of static data? It seems that everything I find seems extremely long and complicated. Also, I simply want to have one column display it's text in RED. Do I have to go through all of that override of Paint procedure, and if so what is the syntax for that? Why can't I just simply set my datagridtextboxcolumn's .forecolor/.backcolor to equal color.red??? If anyone has an example of how to do this easily (or even not easily) please show me! I'm stumped. Thanks.
