Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn to mark which employees are out of the office. The cell template is used to apply the same color to all cells in the check box column. This example is part of a larger example available in the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn class overview topic.

private:
    void AddOutOfOfficeColumn()
    {
        DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn^ column = gcnew DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn();
        {
            column->HeaderText = ColumnName::OutOfOffice.ToString();
            column->Name = ColumnName::OutOfOffice.ToString();
            column->AutoSizeMode = 
                DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode::DisplayedCells;
            column->FlatStyle = FlatStyle::Standard;
            column->ThreeState = true;
            column->CellTemplate = gcnew DataGridViewCheckBoxCell();
            column->CellTemplate->Style->BackColor = Color::Beige;
        }

        DataGridView1->Columns->Insert(0, column);
    }

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);
}

Private Sub AddOutOfOfficeColumn()
    Dim column As New DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn()
    With column
        .HeaderText = ColumnName.OutOfOffice.ToString()
        .Name = ColumnName.OutOfOffice.ToString()
        .AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.DisplayedCells
        .FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Standard
        .CellTemplate = New DataGridViewCheckBoxCell()
        .CellTemplate.Style.BackColor = Color.Beige
    End With

    DataGridView1.Columns.Insert(0, column)
End Sub

Remarks

The constructors for the DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn class initialize this property to a newly created DataGridViewCheckBoxCell.

Caution

Changing the properties of the cell template will not immediately affect the user interface (UI) of the column's existing cells. These changes are only apparent after the column is regenerated (for example, by sorting the column or through a call to the DataGridView.InvalidateColumn method).
