DataGrid with a multi-line textbox added.

Just looking for some suggestions...
I have a datagrid with a text column... You can see just a bit of the
first line of data within this datagrid column. (Its a Notes field...
could be a lot if data in there.)

I have a multi-line text embedded in this column so that when this
column has focus
the multi-line text box appears, allowing you to more easly see and
edit the contents of the data with it.

Works just fine...

However, there are a few things that I would like to change...
1) I would like to make it a bit transparent...
I've tried making a borderless transparent form with a single
multi-line text box but
that does not work. (breaks some rules)
ANY IDEAS ON THIS ONE?

2) I would like the make the text box go outside the bounds of the
datagrid.
ie. When you are on the last row of the datagrid and this text box
pops up
all you see is the first row ... (where the row is) the rest of
hidden from view past the
bottom of the datagrid. It would be nice to have it overlap onto
the form on which
the datagrid was placed.
ANY IDEAS ON THIS ONE?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I will continue to play with this a bit.
