Please help me with my DataGridView...

I have got a DataGridView with a ComboBoxColumn.

I have set the DGV datasource to a table and I have populated the CBC by just adding items like this:
Me.colPosition.Items.Add(value), where value is an () of data.

Now, my questions are many, but firstly:

I really miss the properties & events that a regular combobox has, like selectedItem & selectedIndexChanged…
Or how do I deal with the usual stuff like setting the selectedIndex = 0 and getting the selectedItem like I normally do with a regular comboBox???

Is a conversion from a cell in the comboboxcolumn to a regular combobox necessary, or how do I do this?

I also get an Data error when I select something from my CBC and leave the CBC...

ANY suggestions are welcomed at this point!

Thanks you very much!

Sometimes it is helpful to know when a user has selected an item in the ComboBox editing control. With a ComboBox on your form you would normally handle the SelectedIndexChanged event. With the DataGridViewComboBox you can do the same thing by using the DataGridView.EditingControlShowing event. The following code example demonstrates how to do this. Note that the sample also demonstrates how to keep multiple SelectedIndexChanged events from firing.

private void dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(object sender,
                    DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e)
{
    ComboBox cb = e.Control as ComboBox;
    if (cb != null)
    {
        // first remove event handler to keep from attaching multiple:
        cb.SelectedIndexChanged -= new
        EventHandler(cb_SelectedIndexChanged);

        // now attach the event handler
        cb.SelectedIndexChanged += new
        EventHandler(cb_SelectedIndexChanged);
    }
}

void cb_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Selected index changed");
}
