Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn to mark which employees are out of the office. This example is part of a larger example available in the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn class overview topic.

C#
private void AddOutOfOfficeColumn()
{
    DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn column = new DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn();
    {
        column.HeaderText = ColumnName.OutOfOffice.ToString();
        column.Name = ColumnName.OutOfOffice.ToString();
        column.AutoSizeMode = 
            DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.DisplayedCells;
        column.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Standard;
        column.ThreeState = true;
        column.CellTemplate = new DataGridViewCheckBoxCell();
        column.CellTemplate.Style.BackColor = Color.Beige;
    }

    DataGridView1.Columns.Insert(0, column);
}

Remarks

To display the check box cells using visual styles, set this property to System and call the Application.EnableVisualStyles method before Application.Run.

Getting or setting this property gets or sets the FlatStyle property of the cell object returned by the CellTemplate property. Setting this property also sets the FlatStyle property of every cell in the column and refreshes the column display. To override the specified value for individual cells, set the cell values after you set the column value.
