is there a method of setting up my datagridview to show me textboxcolumns until editmode is entered? At which time I will swap some textboxcolumns for bound comboboxcolumns. And at the end of validation/exit edit mode I can swap back?
If there’s a method of doing this please share some links to examples.
I wouldn’t try to switch DataGridView ColumnTypes like that. Sounds like a bad time.
Is your goal to have a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn that does not display the ComboBox dropdown button when it’s not being edited? If so, there are two options:
Set the column’s DataGridViewComboBoxColumn.DisplayStyleForCurrentCellOnly property to True.
Create your own DGV column based on the ComboBox by extending DataGridViewTextBoxCell. MSDN has a great article for doing this with the Calendar control here.
