Question Partial filtering of datagridview combobox items

[Wulfric]

Hello,

Is there any way in which I can partially filter the items in a datagridview combobox? By this, I mean I would like to allow the user to select either a string (in my case, the word "Daily") or allow them to put in any number instead? So ideally, I would like to have the drop down show only "Daily", but if they do not want to use it, they may use a number instead by manual input.

Many thanks,

Wulfe

The standard combo box column doesn't support that. You would have to either create a derived column and cell class or else do some other convoluted stuff. I'd probably suggest a text box column instead and let the user type in only numbers or, when they type 'd' enter "Daily" yourself.

Jmcilhinney, thanks for your reply. Like your suggested alternative, will give it a go. Cheers.
