Ben,
I suggest you to open a dropdown list with items automatically when user'll select a cell in this column.
To open a dropdown list you can just send a few key pressings:
keybd_event(VK_F2, 0, 0, 0);
keybd_event(VK_F2, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
keybd_event(VK_MENU, 0, 0, 0);
keybd_event(VK_DOWN, 0, 0, 0);
keybd_event(VK_DOWN, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
keybd_event(VK_MENU, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
I used this method in own freeware TSMDBGrid component - check the www.scalabium.com

: How would I get the get a DBGrid column with a picklist to act like a listbox selecting the best choice as the user types? I'm developing an application for advanced computer users who don't like using the mouse, so these little things are appreciated.
