vb.net - Datagridview CheckboxColumn Shaded or (X) Mark when unchecked -

good morning

i have column in datagridview generates checkbox , in relation have lot of columns in table called 2016,2017 , on , of tinyint

now here image both of them:

now here question, instead of uncheck how can make shaded or x mark in datagridview column?

here code in populating datagridview:

dim sql1 mysqlcommand = new mysqlcommand("select * period_closure", con1) dim ds1 dataset = new dataset dim adapter1 mysqldataadapter = new mysqldataadapter con1.open() adapter1.selectcommand = sql1 adapter1.fill(ds1, "mytable") datagridview1.datasource = ds1.tables(0) con1.close() ds1.tables(0).columns(2).datatype = gettype(boolean) me.datagridview1.columns(0).frozen = true dim integer = 0 datagridview1.columns.count - 1     datagridview1.columns.item(i).sortmode = datagridviewcolumnsortmode.programmatic next datagridview1.columns("periodid").visible = false datagridview1.columns(0).defaultcellstyle.backcolor = color.lightblue 

first of download 'x' image in google, or create own.

then try add in code.

private sub checkbox1_paint(sender object, e painteventargs) handles checkbox1.paint  if checkbox1.checked = false         try             dim newimage image = image.fromfile("e:\projects\library\ber-x.jpg")             dim x single = 0             dim y single = 0             dim width single = checkbox1.width 'you can try checkbox1.width - 3             dim height single = checkbox1.height 'you can try checkbox1.height - 3             e.graphics.drawimage(newimage, x, y, width, height)         catch ex exception         end try     end if end sub 

the x mark in checkbox not accurate in position can fix self. try , explore fit in system. :)

hope you.
