Hi,

I am trying to create a TStringGrid that displays a TComboBox in a given
cell when it is selected.

I have no trouble creating this by creating the TStringGrid on the form in
the IDE then creating the TComboBox in the code and setting the TStringGrid
as the parent. I can also get it to display where I want and populate the
list no problem.

The trouble starts when I want to receive and process the TComboBox OnChange
event. I set the property to the handler function but it never gets called.
If I change the combo box parent to my main form then it does get called.

Assuming that maybe the messages were going to the TStringGrid control I
created a derived component and instantiated the Combobox and handler in
that but it still refuses to receive the event message.

Is there a simple solution to this or do I have to put up with the ComboBox
being seperate to the TSrtingGrid and looking rather odd when other screen
elements are moved/resized etc.

All help appreciated.

Martin
