Combobox in datagrid

Hi All,

I am hoping I can get some feedback on a problem I am having with a combobox control in a datagrid.
I am working on windows application using VB.NET. I have done lots of searching on
several forums, but can't find any good threads on this particular issue.

I have managed to get a combobox in the datagrid, and when a user clicks a
particular cell in the datagrid, the combobox appears, and the user can
drop the box and select items. The problem occurs when update or any other
cell is clicked. At that point the selected item from the combobox is
cleared and the cell is set back to it's original value. Basically, the
user can select an item, but it will not keep the value in the cell.

Here is a code snippet. When the user clicks any cell in column 4, that
cell changes to a combobox, and "items1-3" are in the combobox.

Private Sub DataGrid1_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.GotFocus

Dim combo As New ComboBox
combo.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Arrow
combo.DropDownStyle = System.Windows.Forms.ComboBoxStyle.DropDown
combo.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
combo.Items.Add("Item1")
combo.Items.Add("Item2")
combo.Items.Add("Item3")
DataGridTextBoxColumn4.TextBox.Controls.Add(combo)
combo.BringToFront()

End Sub

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
