Hello friends,
I have a DataGridView in my project. At first column as user press enter key, a ComboBox shows on that particular column which may contain many values. My problem is, I want to set the selected text of the ComboBox to that particular cell of the DataGridView. Can anyone help me with this? Right now it remains blank.

Thanks and regards, and sorry for poor English.

When you ask a question in all capital letters, it's like shouting. Please don't do it. I modified this question for you. Also, you say that it currently remains blank, can you post the code you are currently using that doesn't work?

c = dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex;
r = dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Index;
if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == 1 || dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == 4)
{

if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
{
if (dataGridView1.Rows.Count > 1 || dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex != 0 || dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex != 5)
{
try
{
comboBox2.Visible = true;

this.comboBox2.Location = this.dataGridView1.GetCellDisplayRectangle(c, r, true).Location;
this.comboBox2.SelectedItem = this.dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value;
this.comboBox2.Show();
this.comboBox2.SelectedItem = dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value;
this.comboBox2.DroppedDown = true;
}
catch { }
}

}

}

}
