I'm just wondering how can I make or how can I put a combobox within my listview. And I search over the web, and fortunate I got this at http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/message.aspx?id=71810. however, I still found some build errors through the code. Please help me sove this please.

Here's the piece of code:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;

namespace WindowsApplication5

/// <summary>

/// <summary>
/// Required designer variable.
/// </summary>
private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;


public Form1()
{
//

//
InitializeComponent();

//

//
}

/// <summary>
/// Clean up any resources being used.
/// </summary>
protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
{
if( disposing )
{
if (components != null)
{
components.Dispose();
}
}
base.Dispose( disposing );
}

People seeking an easier life would probably just use a DataGridView with a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn

Thanks for the reply.
I think theres a way to do it in listview. I'm sorry but my study all about Listview so I think I don't have any choice.

Please help.

DataGridView is better and easier. Why do you want to make things complicated?

DataGridView is better and easier. Why do you want to make things complicated?I've already done that, yes I agree thats more easier than doing what i want. My point is, this is my need. why should i bother this thing im not interested. Let say for example, why should I ate rice, if theres a bread here? The thing is, bread can not satisfy my appetite, why should i go and ate some bread? In short satisfaction is key why should I ask this if it is possible.

I tell this bro, I'm fun of doing complicated things possible. Sorry about that, but this is my satisfaction.

Now if its not possible then so be it.

But I think everything is possible in programming. Let me think of possibilities if this is really possible or is there any none complecated solution for this and I post it here later.

Thanks for the help.
