You haven't missed any built-in option, but it is possible to subclass both the DataGridViewColumn and DataGridViewCell classes to host any control of your choosing.

This article on MSDN explains the process in more detail, and even includes some sample code:

You can also find a complete sample on Code Project: Generic DataGridView V2.0
