I need to get the selected value of a ComboBox in a DataGridView.
I'm getting the text only when I click combobox column first.
The text is not showing if I click another column first, combobox coloumn second.

Please help me with this.

What I have tried:

VB

 Private Sub Combo_SelectedIndexChanged
(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

        Dim selectedValue = DirectCast(sender, ComboBox).SelectedItem

        If DataGridView3.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex > 0 Then
            DataGridView3.CurrentCell.Value = selectedValue
        End If

    End Sub

    Private Sub DataGridView3_CellClick(sender As Object, _
    e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView3.CellClick
        combo.Items.Clear()

        For i = 0 To 10
            combo.Items.Add(PLAYERDG.Rows(i).Cells(1).Value)
        Next

        Me.DataGridView3.Controls.Add(combo)
        combo.Location = Me.DataGridView3.GetCellDisplayRectangle_
        (1, DataGridView3.CurrentCell.RowIndex, True).Location
        combo.Size = Me.DataGridView3.GetCellDisplayRectangle_
        (1, DataGridView3.CurrentCell.RowIndex, True).Size

        If (combo IsNot Nothing) Then

            AddHandler combo.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf Combo_SelectedIndexChanged

        End If

    End Sub
