I need to add a ComboBox column in my datagrdiview (winform) with these simple functionalities:

  • Autocomplete
  • Loads items from database dinamically, based on typed value (all items starting with typed text)
  • Possibility to insert new value (type text with no match on database values)

I tried to set datasource of myComboBoxColumn at KeyDown event of editing control (the combobox) with no success.

There are two Properties you need to write for ComboBox Column 1. column1.AutoCompleteMode=AutoCompleteMode.Suggest; 2. column1.AutoCompleteSource=AutoCompleteSource.ListItems;
