Get reference to Combobox in Datagridview

[hvj@paralax.nl]

Hi all,

I'm stuck on the following seemingly easy issue?

When I know the row nr and column nr of a cell in a datagridview with
a combobox in it how do I get a reference to that combobox?

Help would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Henk

Something like (for row 1, column 2):

Dim ddlYourDropDown As DropDownList =
CType(CType(Me. GridView1.Contr ols(0),
Table).Rows(1). Cells(2).FindCo ntrol("ddlYourD ropDown"), DropDownList)

Thanks for the try Leon, but gridview1.Contr ols does not contain
something that can be cast to Table. In my case it only contains the
scrollbars.

I found out that there isn't even a edit control for every cell. Not
until some cell gets in the editmode an edit control is instantiated.
And with dataGridview.Ed itingControl it can be retreived.
