Cetin ,
Thanks for hint.

It turned out that using DataGridView with generators( bindingsource, bindingnavigator and etc... ) which results in VCR toolbar at the top , grid taking the rest of form area is easy and good enough in my case.

Just setting Autosizing and Wrapping allows in-cell editing.

this.monitoring_urlDataGridView.AutoSizeRowsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.AllCells;
this.monitoring_urlDataGridView.AutoSizeColumnsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCells ;
this.monitoring_urlDataGridView.DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True; 

Surely for very long text ( more than grid height ) it doesn't work , but at least copy/paste back and forth from real text editor does.
