The following example extends the DataGridViewTextColumn and cell to paint an image next to the text. The sample uses the DataGridViewCellStyle.Padding property to adjust the text location and overrides the Paint method to paint an icon. This sample can be simplified by handling the CellPainting event and performing similar code.

public class TextAndImageColumn:DataGridViewTextBoxColumn

{

private Image imageValue;

private Size imageSize;

public TextAndImageColumn()

{

this.CellTemplate = new TextAndImageCell();

}

public override object Clone()

{

TextAndImageColumn c = base.Clone() as TextAndImageColumn;

c.imageValue = this.imageValue;

c.imageSize = this.imageSize;

return c;

}

public Image Image

{

get { return this.imageValue; }

set

{

if (this.Image != value) {

this.imageValue = value;

this.imageSize = value.Size;

if (this.InheritedStyle != null) {

Padding inheritedPadding = this.InheritedStyle.Padding;

this.DefaultCellStyle.Padding = new Padding(imageSize.Width,
inheritedPadding.Top, inheritedPadding.Right,
inheritedPadding.Bottom);

}

}

}

}

private TextAndImageCell TextAndImageCellTemplate

{

get { return this.CellTemplate as TextAndImageCell; }

}

internal Size ImageSize

{

get { return imageSize; }

}

}

public class TextAndImageCell : DataGridViewTextBoxCell

{

private Image imageValue;

private Size imageSize;

public override object Clone()

{

TextAndImageCell c = base.Clone() as TextAndImageCell;

c.imageValue= this.imageValue;

c.imageSize = this.imageSize;

return c;

}

public Image Image

{

get {

if (this.OwningColumn == null ||
this.OwningTextAndImageColumn == null) {

return imageValue;

}

else if (this.imageValue != null) {

return this.imageValue;

}

else {

return this.OwningTextAndImageColumn.Image;

}

}

set {

if (this.imageValue != value) {

this.imageValue = value;

this.imageSize = value.Size;

Padding inheritedPadding = this.InheritedStyle.Padding;

this.Style.Padding = new Padding(imageSize.Width,
inheritedPadding.Top, inheritedPadding.Right,
inheritedPadding.Bottom);

}

}

}

protected override void Paint(Graphics graphics, Rectangle clipBounds,
Rectangle cellBounds, int rowIndex, DataGridViewElementStates cellState,
object value, object formattedValue, string errorText,
DataGridViewCellStyle cellStyle,
DataGridViewAdvancedBorderStyle advancedBorderStyle,
DataGridViewPaintParts paintParts)

{

// Paint the base content

base.Paint(graphics, clipBounds, cellBounds, rowIndex, cellState,

graphics.EndContainer(container);

}

}

{

}
