Editable Combobox in Datagrid

[Fiaolle]

Hi
I like to have an editable combobox in my Datagrid, like the one's they have in Access. I've seen some examples on how to add a combobox in a datagrid, but they are not editable. I found an example at page http://www.akadia.com/services/dotnet_combobox_in_datagrid.html, it works OK, but it's not editable and when I tried to add the KeyUp event (below) to the class NoKeyUpCombo it doesn't work. Presumably because of the procedure WndProc. The code below have I used to make an editable combobox an it works fine, but I don't know how to add it to a combobox in a datagrid.
I'm using Microsoft Development Environment 2003, and then can't use DatagridView.

Thankfull for answers

There are lots of discussions and articles and solutions on this subject on the web, I just found this KnowDotNet class that should enable you to add any kind of column type to the DataGrid.
"Multiple Column Formats in Windows Forms DataGrid - KDNGrid Class" http://www.knowdotnet.com/articles/kdngrid.html
