Hi all,

is it possible to add a control of my choise (e.g., ComboBox or Button) to a single cell of a Forms::DataGrid?

I understand how to add a control for a whole column. But I want to add, say, a button in cell (3,4), without having buttons in all of column 4.

Thanks,
Matt.

Turn off autogenerate columns, then add BoundColumns
foreach(DataColumn dc in datatable1.Columns)
{

    BoundColumn bc = new BoundColumn();
    bc.DataField = dc.ColumnName;
    bc.HeaderText = dc.ColumnName;
    DataGrid1.Columns.Add(bc);
}
// to place the control in particular cell,
CheckBox cb = new CheckBox();
DataGridItem dgi = DataGrid1.Items[4];
dgi.Cells[3].Controls.Add(cb);
