Hi.
I want to make a custom DataGridViewCell like a DataGridViewNumericUpDownCell

I have the following classes:

public class DataGridViewNumericUpDownColumn : DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
{
    //...
}
public class DataGridViewNumericUpDownCell : DataGridViewTextBoxCell
{
    //...
}
class NumericEditingControl : NumericUpDown, IDataGridViewEditingControl
{
    //...
}

Everything works great, except for the fact that the editing control doesn't expand beyond the cell bounds. How could I do this?

FOUND IT!!

public override void PositionEditingControl(bool setLocation, bool setSize, System.Drawing.Rectangle cellBounds, System.Drawing.Rectangle cellClip, DataGridViewCellStyle cellStyle, bool singleVerticalBorderAdded, bool singleHorizontalBorderAdded, bool isFirstDisplayedColumn, bool isFirstDisplayedRow)
{
    cellBounds = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(cellBounds.X, cellBounds.Y, cellBounds.Width + 16, cellBounds.Height);
    cellClip = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(cellClip.X, cellClip.Y, cellClip.Width + 16, cellClip.Height);
    base.PositionEditingControl(true, true, cellBounds, cellClip, cellStyle, singleVerticalBorderAdded, singleHorizontalBorderAdded, isFirstDisplayedColumn, isFirstDisplayedRow);
}
