For example, put a Panel control to the table's cell, then place your control (or more controls) to this panel. Maybe also set the Anchor property of the controls.

In simple cases, you can set the Margin property of the control instead of using panels.

You can use SetRow / SetColumn to move them

For example, to move a Button at 0,0 :

This is the problem only that I am having . The control in you case button seems to get stuck in the top left corner of the cell whereas I want to centre it .

THIS IS MY CUSTOMDATAGRIDVIEW

   public uneditabledatagridview()
        {
            this.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.Font = new Font("Tahoma", 9.75F, FontStyle.Bold);
            this.CellBorderStyle = DataGridViewCellBorderStyle.None;
            this.AllowUserToAddRows = false;
            this.AllowUserToDeleteRows = false;
            this.AllowUserToResizeRows = false;
            this.AllowUserToDeleteRows = false;
            this.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None;
            this.RowHeadersBorderStyle = DataGridViewHeaderBorderStyle.None;
            this.ColumnHeadersBorderStyle = DataGridViewHeaderBorderStyle.None;

            // Set column width to autofit to fit content
