If you want to display a ComboBox in the CellTemplate, you should replace the DataGridComboBoxColumn with a DataGridTemplateColumn:

<DataGrid ...>
    <DataGrid.Resources>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="template">
            <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=FsmTypes, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Window}}" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </DataGrid.Resources>
    <DataGrid.Columns>
        <DataGridTemplateColumn ... CellTemplate="{StaticResource template}" CellEditingTemplate="{StaticResource template}" />
        ...
    </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

You can open one of the ComboBoxes by setting the IsDropDownOpen property to true. You cannot have more than one ComboBox open at the same time though.
