1. Are you talking of ASP.NET or Winforms?
2. Where are you going to 'click A'? Is there a dropdown outside grid with alphabets?
3. Whats the point of mentioning dropdown in grid?

What I am understanding from your question is that you need "alphabetical filtering" in your gridview. I don't think displaying all the 26 alphabets in a dropdown menu is a good idea because it is not very user-friendly.

Displaying all the 26 alphabets A-Z is a better and user-friendly way of going forward so that anybody can just click the alphabet and all the rows will be filtered based on the selection of the alphabet.

Hope it helps...
