ExtendedDataGrid: added ComboBoxColumn and MultiLineTextBoxColumn

Yesterday I added two new ColumnStyles to the ExtendedDataGrid:

  • MultiLineTextBox Column
    This column has the same functionality as the normal DataGridTextBoxColumn, the only difference is that this column can display the text in a multiline TextBox. So when editing a cell, a TextBox with a vertical scrollbar is used.
  • ComboBox Column
    The ExtendedDataGridComboBoxColumn will display a ComboBox control when a cell is edited. The items of this ComboBox can be set at runtime, using for example an array, DataTable, collection...

On the ExtendedDataGrid site you can find a list of all features currently available. If you don't know the ExtendedDataGrid, check out my previous post. For short: it's a free Windows.Forms DataGrid with some additional functionality.

At this moment I'm working on a way to allow developers to easily extend the ExtendedDataGrid by adding a column which will be able to display any UserControl. There will be no need to create your own ColumnStyle for the UserControl, so the extending the DataGrid will be easier than ever! If you're intrested keep an eye on the latest news (RSS Feed).
