Hello,  
I want to create a table with 2 checkbox fields and a text field in the middle, (like an amicable contract). But I don’t know how to do this.  
Is it feasible?  
Could you help me ?

Hello @Bertrand ,  
I didn’t find any “standard” way to add a checkbox to a GridView. The only clue I found is in this topic 🈶  
[How can I set a databound checkbox in a GridView control? - Development / Visual Studio Web Forms - WorkflowGen](https://discuss.workflowgen.com/t/how-can-i-set-a-databound-checkbox-in-a-gridview-control/203)

Best regards

If you are using Form Designer and you don’t need to bind any data source for your gridview and all you need is to have a check box control as input like the following:

you can try the following:  
Use a TextBox to mimic a checkbox input

This is not a true checkbox but it serves the purpose to hold a value for the grid when it is checked. In this case it will hold a check mark ✔ as value
