How to display checkmark in datagrid

Question

Hi  I have created a datagrid in Windows Form using C# and .Net . I have rows and columns in that datagrid. One of the column data type is string and it displays it correctly. But under other column I want to display a checkmark ( not a checkbox) . It should be readonly. I have tried to define it is a bool and set the value to true/false  but it shows 1 or 0 respectively. Please suggest me a way to do this

Try to find the proper font with checkmark. Use it in datacolumn style. Use string column with proper signs. But ... I tried to find it (in usual fonts) and couldn't do it. Now I use space to false and simple x in Verdana to true. Next solution is to modify the DataGridTextColumn to paint checkbox with ControlPaint class: ButtonState st=(base.Text==x?ButtonState.Checked:ButtonState.Normal); if(!this.Enabled) st|=ButtonState.Inactive; ControlPaint.DrawCheckBox(e.Graphics00Math.Min(this.Widththis.Height)-4 this.Height-4st);
