Yes, you can have an array property, just add (1) or (1,1) to the end of the property name when you add it.
e.g., aSource(1,1)

Add this to the class itself, not to a potential parent container (like a form).
In your case, add it to the container, then set the combobox.RowSource="this.parent.aSource" or whatever the name of the array property is.

Also, have the class itself dimension and populate the array, not an external object. This keeps it encapsulated.

BTW thisform.grid1.column1.container.combobox.array[1].value='abcd' would only work if the array contained object references to objects that had a Value property.
Also, along these lines, I can't tell from your post if you are intending to this, but I would strongly encourage you to not get values directly from the array or the combobox.Value or DisplayValue properties, unless you do not have the combobox bound to a ControlSource. If you have a ControlSource, then you should get the value from that instead.
