Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn to aid in entering data into the TitleOfCourtesy column. This example is part of a larger example available in the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn class overview topic.

private:
    DataGridViewComboBoxColumn^ CreateComboBoxColumn()
    {
        DataGridViewComboBoxColumn^ column =
            gcnew DataGridViewComboBoxColumn();
        {
            column->DataPropertyName = ColumnName::TitleOfCourtesy.ToString();
            column->HeaderText = ColumnName::TitleOfCourtesy.ToString();
            column->DropDownWidth = 160;
            column->Width = 90;
            column->MaxDropDownItems = 3;
            column->FlatStyle = FlatStyle::Flat;
        }
        return column;
    }

private:

    {
        {
            comboboxColumn->DataSource = RetrieveAlternativeTitles();
            comboboxColumn->ValueMember = ColumnName::TitleOfCourtesy.ToString();
            comboboxColumn->DisplayMember = comboboxColumn->ValueMember;
        }

Remarks

The FlatStyle property affects the behavior and appearance of the drop-down arrows for the cells in this column.

Starting with the .NET Framework 4.6, when the FlatStyle property is set to Flat or Popup the drop-down arrows are resized according to the system DPI settings when the app.config file contains the following entry:

<appSettings>  
  <add key="EnableWindowsFormsHighDpiAutoResizing" value="true" />  
</appSettings>  

To enable cell highlighting when the mouse pointer is over a cell, you must set the DisplayStyle property to ComboBox and the FlatStyle property to Popup.

Getting or setting this property gets or sets the FlatStyle property of the object returned by the CellTemplate property. Setting this property also sets the FlatStyle property of every cell in the column and refreshes the column display. To override the specified value for individual cells, set the cell values after you set the column value.
