wow...that's difficult to read. Let me see if I can't rephrase.

You want to create a custom column for the DataGridView. You want that column, when clicked, to have a dropdown that shows a GridView instead of a list.

Of course this: "and when we select any row then set the text first coloumn value of row in combobox text.", I have no idea what you're trying to say.

Hi,

You can use "DataGridViewComboBoxColumn" class to achieve this. Please follow the following link for more reference and example code,

I won't downvote because his question wasn't clear, but it looks to me like he wants to have a custom dropdown that instead of displaying a list like the combobox does, it displays a GridView. So, it's going to take a custom column, not a standard comboBoxColumn.

Of course, with the way the question was written, he could actually want code to land a man on the moon.

If you want to create a custom column type for a datagridview, there are a lot of articles out there.

See here: google search[^]

It's not something that we can answer in a quick question though. You'll need to do some reading.
