DataGridView and Editing Controls...

Hi all!

I think there are Microsoft developpers on this forum, so I have a suggestion for the DataGridView. I tried to access the editing control of a column of a DataGridView but I never managed to do it in a "beautiful" way!

In order to access it, I had to listen to the EditControlShowing event of the DataGridView which gave me a reference to the editing control!
As I can see (If I didn't make any mistake ;)), the editing control of a column is created once at the beginning and this single control is used in all rows of the column. As a result, I've searched for a property to get that control but I didn't find it, I don't know if I'm right or not but in the case I'm right and there isn't any property to get it (the control) I think it would be nice to have one (in order to make changes to the control just after the initialization of the DataGridView and its columns...)
(In my case, I have a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn and I want to access to the DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl in order to change the DropDownStyle property of this control)

Thank you,

Frederic.

Oh, I think I mistook, I think that a single editing control is used all over the column but this editing control has some of its properties reset each time it is showed! (Tested with the DropDownStyle property)

Wouldn't it be good if it would be possible to fix the properties of an editing control for an entire column

(Maybe I'm still in the wall ;-))
