Hello Martino,

You cannot have different cell types for different rows. However, you can create a custom cell which contains all possible elements and just hide and show different elements upon a condition. Please, consider that the default data cell is enough in the described scenario where the difference is between text and image. I prepared a sample demonstrating this:

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    GridDataCellElement cell = e.CellElement as GridDataCellElement;
    if (cell != null && cell.ColumnInfo.Name == "Name")
    {
        object value = cell.RowInfo.Cells["Check"].Value;
        bool isChecked = value != null ? (bool)value : false;
        if (isChecked)
        {
            e.CellElement.Text = "";
            e.CellElement.Image = Resources.file;
        }
        else
        {
            e.CellElement.Text = cell.Value != null ? cell.Value.ToString() : "";
            e.CellElement.Image = null;
        }
    }
}

I hope it helps. If you need further assistance, do not hesitate to write back.
