I have a datagridview and have one column set as combobox, with the drop down list linked to a Collections strings

Everything is fine, but I need to have the current cell as a normal one so that I can put text that is not part of the collection

I am using win forms.

However despite searching I am unable to find any code that allows me to do that. In other words use it just like a normal combobox

Thank you in anticipation of a reply

Hi
Thank you for our reply. Appreciated
I found autocomplete hidden away in the collections options
Full of hope I changed it to true, but to no avail. Not yet ready to tackle WPF yet
Any other suggestions? , prior to favourable voting anyway

Hello,

For that you can use AutoCompleteBox. It will insert new text or can be select item from list. So, AutoCompleteBox will help you if this control is available in winform.
