>>>>I can see that out of the box WinForms combo box does not have ability to have more than one column in the pull-down list (very unfortunately). I found an article on web describing how create a custom combo box using a form with ListView as part of the control. The article is not very clear but since it comes with a source, hopefully I can see how to do it. The article is dated 2002. Do you know of any new approaches that maybe someone came up since 2002 for making combo show multiple columns?

>>Thank you, Tracy. I will review the suggested articles. I would not mind paying but in my experience when you buy a 3P tools there is a learning curve involved and I simply don't have time.

>Normally I would agree with you, however, when it comes to Infragistics, I think their documents, examples, and online forums are generally better than what is available for MSFT vanilla tools. The learning curver is much shorter. They have a large supply of tools so you might want to consider them if the other free examples don't suit your requirements.

I think I rushed to say that I "don't mind paying". When I saw the prices for WinForms Infragistics components, I changed my mind <g>.
