Hi Shayesteh,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

The default values can be set for a ComboBox cell by using its Text property. Please check out the sample code snippet below.

string[] desig = {"Operator","Supervisor","Engineer","Developer","Manager"};

private void Form1_Load(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
  this.gridControl1.PopulateValues(GridRangeInfo.Cells(1,1,5,2),CreateTable());
  for(int i=0;i  {
    this.gridControl1.ColWidths[3]=90;
    this.gridControl1[i+1,3].CellType="ComboBox";
    this.gridControl1[i+1,3].DataSource=CreateTable();
    this.gridControl1[i+1,3].DisplayMember="Designation";
    this.gridControl1[i+1,3].Text=desig[i];
  }
}

Here is a minimal sample.
