Datagridview column header drop down as filter

[benjamin]

Hi,

I can't seem to find anything like this, but thought i'd run it past the experts:

Am trying to make a datagridview at like excel to some extent.

In particular the part i'm after is the ability to turn a header into a drop down / combo box and use this as a filter for that column.

Havn't seen any capability to do this - anyone have any ideas?
Otherwise i'll be stuck using external drop downs to filer the contents of the grid - which is not really what i'm after.

thanks!

Haven't checked it out personally but I'd venture this is a good place to start.
