DataGridViewButtonCell Class
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)
The DataGridViewButtonCell class is a specialized type of DataGridViewCell used to display a button-like UI.
DataGridViewButtonColumn is the column type specialized to hold cells of this type. To pattern the cells within a column after an existing DataGridViewButtonCell, set the column's CellTemplate property to that cell. By default, the CellTemplate is initialized to a new DataGridViewButtonCell.
The cell-related properties of the column are wrappers for the similarly-named properties of the template cell. Changing the property values of the template cell will affect only cells based on the template that are added after the change. Changing the cell-related property values of the column, however, will update the template cell and all other cells in the column, and refresh the column display if necessary.

| When visual styles are enabled, the buttons in a button column are painted using a ButtonRenderer, and cell styles specified through properties such as DefaultCellStyle have no effect. |
The following code example demonstrates how to use a DataGridViewCell as a template for a DataGridViewColumn. Style changes made to any cell in the column affect all of the column's cells. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the DataGridViewColumn class.
