Hi,

I have an object called "Note." Each Note has a few properties (NoteDate, NoteType, and NoteText). NoteType is a string value, stored as a varchar in the database.

I would like the user to have the ability to type whatever they want in this field, but would also like to provide a list of possible options, based on data previously used in the field, since often it will be the same type of thing. A proper ComboBox, which allows choosing OR typing in a new value is what would be perfect.

I am able to create a binding source and fill it with the list of string values, but am unclear about how I can use this in the displayed Grid.

Is there some way in code I can "substitute" a ComboBoxEdit, with my bindingsource, for the basic TextEdit field which currently displays?

Thanks!

Heather
