You might check out www.viksoe.dk.  Check out his combobox controls and his property grid.  There are other examples on the Internet (maybe www.ucancode.com and www.codeproject.com) that show in-place use of comboboxes inside listviews.  Typically these are "property controls" or "property grids".

To resize the rows in a ListView, what I've always done is use an imagelist and change the size of the images.  The control will change it's row size to fit the image size.

The windows combobox sucks pretty bad... So bad that even though I am lazy by nature, I was motivated enough to write my own ground-up listbox and combobox controls because I got so tired of fighting the limitations of the built-in controls.  

Best of luck with this.
