[Guest]

Is it possible to display images and icons in this control?

Hi Tony,

For this, you can either use ImageColumns in the DataGridView as suggested
in the following link:

or implement a handler for CellFormatting event of DataGridView control as
shown in the example in the following article:

Hope this helps.
Thanks

Yes this helps - however when I implement the suggested code I get the class
name rather than the image displayed in the cell

Bitmap MyImage = new Bitmap("pic1.bmp");
if (e.ColumnIndex == 0)
{
e.Value = MyImage;
}
Displays "System.Drawing.Bitmap" rather than the actual image

You have to make sure the "ColumnStyle" is set correctly, or it will just
call ToString() as in your example
