I would like to have a DataGridView with ComboBoxes as Headers. The DGV always has 2 columns. I need the comboBoxes in order to select the unit that the values I fill in are (e.g. first column is going to be sec, min, hr).

I did look up and try the version used at the following entries: MSDN and Stack Overflow (basically the same solution)

Yet I would like the Cell to act just like a ordinary DataGridViewComboBoxCell, which I use at antoher part of my code 

        DataGridViewComboBoxCell sensor = new DataGridViewComboBoxCell();
        sensor.DataSource = new String[] { "Kein Sensor", "KTY84", "PTC", "PT1000" };
        engineDataGrid.Rows[10].Cells["value"] = sensor;
        engineDataGrid.Rows[10].Cells["value"].Value = sensor.Items[0];

How can I merge my ordinary Versionen with the Column Headers?

    _Yet I would like the Cell to act just like a ordinary DataGridViewComboBoxCell_ Um, as opposed to what about the solution in the links? Please explain in detail what you miss or can't use there! – TaW Jul 24 '18 at 14:55
  • @TaW Thank you for your help, though I was already able to find a solution, the other solution just looks like I took a comboBox and dragged it in front of the dgv, also, It doesn't change it's size if the column size is changed. If I just made a mistake upon implementation that you can point out rather easy, I'd like to year it though – Martin Jul 25 '18 at 06:58

  • @davisj1691 Thanks for the reminder, wanted to do so but forgot about it. Just entered the solution I used. – Martin Aug 01 '18 at 10:37

The solution I ended up using is a work around, disabling the column header and using the first row as my header, editing it the way I posted with the question. A bit of editing with the border style and it looks just like it is the original header or to be more precise, a style for the header i like for the application, but as a combobox.
