To display the check box cells using visual styles, set this property to System and call the Application::EnableVisualStyles method before Application::Run.
Getting or setting this property gets or sets the FlatStyle property of the cell object returned by the CellTemplate property.

To override the specified value for individual cells, set the cell values after you set the column value.
Visual styles are only supported on Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, and Windows Server 2003.
