Yuu cannot change type of a datagridview cell, this is not possible. You would need to add comboboxcolumn (have it visible = false, copy data from textboxcell to new comboboxcell, remove textboxcell, and make comboboxcolumn visible.

I am populating a datagridview with two text columns from the output of a sql stored procedure. I want the user to be able to click on any cell in the grid and see a drop down list of values populated from another database table, one per each column, which they can select from to override the cell content from the initial datasource. i.e I want to change the type of the selected cell from datagridviewtextboxcolumn to datagridviewcomboboxcolumn<wbr /> when the cell is clicked. &nbsp;Is there any way of doing this? <br />
