Different combobox items for each grid row

I have successfully created a grid with parent rows which can be expanded into a child row. I would like to have a combobox in a column in the child row which has different items depending on values in the parent row. How can I populate the comboboxes differently for each child row?

What I need is a way of getting the parent row at the same time as the combobox in the child row. I can't seem to find an event or property which can access one from the other.

Hours later, I found this. I used the CustomRowCellEdit on my GridView event

  myGridView.CustomRowCellEdit += new CustomRowCellEditEventHandler(myGridView_CustomRowCellEdit);

which will give you the row

void myGridView_CustomRowCellEdit(object sender, CustomRowCellEditEventArgs e)
{
  myRowType myRow = (sender as GridView).GetRow(e.RowHandle) as myRowType;

and you can make a new editor like so

  RepositoryItemComboBox editor = new RepositoryItemComboBox();
  editor.Items.AddRange(myRow.AllowedValues);
  e.RepositoryItem = editor;

Trying to modify an existing editor (combobox or otherwise) will not work.
