What you were getting before was something like "DataGridViewComboBoxColumn{something="ibbledibble"}", rather than "Test1". In other words the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn class ToString, rather than the content ToString

Since DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs is handling the EditingControlShowing event and will be passing the arguments to the SelectedIndexChanged event handle

if (!cb.SelectedIndexChanged.List.Contains(column1DataGridViewComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged))
{
 cb.SelectedIndexChanged += column1DataGridViewComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged;
}

I think that you have slightly misunderstood what is happening here.

also SelectedIndexChanged cannot access the control via DataGridViewCellEventArgs because the control is accessed via EditingControlShowing with the DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs class, correct?
