I agree wholeheartedly. When I use a cbo in a grid, I have both that and a textbox control in the column. The textbox is the currentcontrol, and in the gotfocus, I push the value to the cbo, and switch the currentcontrol to the cbo. In the lostfocus of the cbo, I push the value back to the textbox and switch the currentcontrol back. The grid stays looking neat, and I get the best of both worlds.
