Hi Jonathan,

It might be easier to have a combobox where the product column is. Create a
combobox and connect it to your items. Set the visible property to false.
When the user enters the product name column, move the combobox to fit the
row that the user is in. Make the combobox visible and set the focus to it.
When the user exits the combobox, put the item in that field. They can then
tab to the quantity field and enter their quantity. It will look much
cleaner that way. That's the way I do any lookup for a datagrid.
