Using Combox in Datagrid while allowing row by row data input

I'm wanting to use a datagrid to allow a user to enter rows of data one at a time. A few columns in this grid would be comboboxes populated with choices for the user from our database. Problem I'm having is this..

First row works just fine. As soon as the user navigates to a new row in the grid and tabs to one of the combox columns, the combobox in the column above disappears. It's almost like the grid is only seeing one combobox control and moving it row to row for use. Of course, this is not what I am looking for

Has anyone out there had to code something similar

Thanks!
 
This is default behavior. If you want to override this, you'd have to create
your own ColumnStyle. If you use the (free) ExtendedDataGrid is pretty easy
to do that:
