CheckBox column and image

[Deborah]

My customer wants to display a checkmark image in the column if the column is checked and no image in the column if the checkmark is unchecked.

Is there an easy way to do this? Or do I need to write code (formating event?) to replace the image as the data is binding and as the user clicks in the column?

Thanks!

Hello Deborah,

Like you already know, the easiest way of doing this is by using the Formatting Events (Cell, Row), a more complex and more maintainable way would be by using a custom cell & custom cell provider.

If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to say so,

Where is the best place to find an example of building a custom cell and custom cell provider?

Hello Deborah,

I think you will find all the necessary information required in order to create a custom cell and to use a custom cell provider in this thread(http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/gridview/add-2-buttons-dynamically-and-set-there-visibility-by-checking-the-values-of-another-column-in-grdi-view.aspx), you will find there also a full form example of creation and usage.
