confirm the control? It's datagrid or gridview? In VB6, gridview doesn't exist.

Solution 1

You can't change the cell control type because what is displayed is controled by the DataGridViewColumn. In order to do what you want, you'd have to implement your own custom DataGridViewColumn class (NOT easy!)

The DGV also does not support merging cells. You'd have to use a third party grid control that supports this.

If change the columntype at the cell level. So when I click on cell os column how to I change type of column of that cell from textbox to combobox and add data to this combobox( example when I click on cell, It's column appear with dada as follow: Red, Blue, Yellow and blank in combobox) using VB 6

Solution 2

You cannot think about the DGV at the cell level. You cannot change the columntype at the cell level. You must think by columns. You can only make changes to the columntype at the column level. I already told you what you have to do.
