How can I add a checkbox to a datagrid column

Question

Unfortunately I cannot use the DataGridHelper plugin to add a checkbox in the datagrid column since I am using the community version.

Add new column in the properties of the DataGridView by:

Choosing Columns from properties panel and double click on it then choose " Add... " button then set the new column as " Unbound Column " Give it a name and choose its type " DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn " Set the header you want and make sure that " read only " is not selected. that's it.

(If the database field (in SQL Server) is of type 'bit' then the the datagridview automatically maps it to the datagridview as a checkbox instead of a textbox. No coding necessary.)

thanks for the quick reply. However, I do not have all of the options you are mentioning. Picture added to original post. – Tate83 May 06 '14 at 13:56
I think I am closer to a solution, my datagrid seems messed up. I created a new one and can edit the template now. – Tate83 May 06 '14 at 14:05

To add specific stuff to a column add a column in the property inspector, add "custom behaviour" to that column and then edit the "row template"
