C# 4 - DataGridView with proper ProgressBar control

Question

I need to display a progress bar in a DataGridView.

I've searched around and I've found many (many, many, ...) implementations that basically render a progress bar by drawing it into the cell.

Isn't there a way to use a System.Windows.Forms.ProgressBar directly in a DataGridView cell ?

Answer 1

Not without drawing it into the cell.

However, you can check out DevExpress's DataGrid. It allows you to use a ProgressBar or any other control in any cell. I use it and found that is is much easier to use and customize.
