        rect = DataGrid1.GetCurrentCellBounds
        x = rect.X + DataGrid1.Left
        y = rect.Y + DataGrid1.Top
        w = rect.Width
        h = rect.Height
        ComboBox1.SetBounds(x, y, w, h)
        ComboBox1.Visible = True
    End Sub
    Private Sub fillcombo()
        cmd = New SqlCommand("select * from categories", cn)
        dr = cmd.ExecuteReader()
        While dr.Read()
            ComboBox1.Items.Add(dr("categoryName"))
        End While
    End Sub

    Private Sub DataGrid1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.MouseDown
