-# how-to-load-checkbox-in-header-cells
-This example illustrates how to load checkbox in header cells of GridDataBoundGrid control
+# How to put a CheckBox in a header cell in the WinForms GridControl or GridDataBoundGrid 
+
+## Adding checkbox in a header cell
+
+### GridControl:
+
+In [WinForms GridControl](https://www.syncfusion.com/winforms-ui-controls/grid-control), to put a <b>CheckBox</b> in the <b>GridControl</b>, set the <b>CellType</b> to <b>CheckBox</b> and assign string values for the <b>CheckedValue</b> and <b>UncheckedValue</b> in the <b>CheckBoxOptions</b> property. The value of the <b>CheckBox</b> can be stored to a particular cell in the <b>GridControl</b> and the <b>CheckBoxClick</b> event gets triggered when the <b>CheckBox</b> is clicked. The following is the code example for <b>GridControl</b>.
+
+## C#
+
+```C#
+this.gridControl1[0,2].CellType = "CheckBox";
+this.gridControl1[0,2].Description = "B";
+this.gridControl1[0,2].CellAppearance = GridCellAppearance.Raised;
+```
+
+## VB
+
+```VB
+Me.gridControl1(0,2).CellType = "CheckBox"
+Me.gridControl1(0,2).Description = "B"
+Me.gridControl1(0,2).CellAppearance = GridCellAppearance.Raised
+```
+
+## GridDataBoundGrid:
+
+To put a <b>CheckBox</b> in the <b>GridDataBoundGrid</b>, two events have to be used. The <b>QueryCellInfo</b> event is used to set the <b>style</b> properties and the <b>SaveCellInfo</b> event is used to save the cell's value. The value of the <b>CheckBox</b> cannot be stored in the <b>GridDataBoundGrid</b>, so any datatype/collection can be used to store the value. The <b>CheckBoxClick</b> event gets triggered when the <b>CheckBox</b> is clicked. In the following code example, the <b>CheckBox</b> is added to the Column header on the <b>GridDataBoundGrid</b>.
+
+## C#
+
+```C#
+private bool CheckBoxValue = false;   
+private void Model_QueryCellInfo(object sender, GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e)
+{
+   if(e.ColIndex > 0 && e.RowIndex == 0)
+   {
+      int colIndex1 = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.NameToColIndex("Column2");
+      if(colIndex1 == e.ColIndex)
+      {
+         e.Style.Description = "Check";
+         e.Style.CellValue = CheckBoxValue;
+         e.Style.CellValueType = typeof(bool);
+         e.Style.CheckBoxOptions = new GridCheckBoxCellInfo(true.ToString(), false.ToString(), "", true);
+         e.Style.CellType = "CheckBox";
+         e.Style.CellAppearance = GridCellAppearance.Raised;
+         e.Style.Enabled = true;
+      }
+   }
+}
+private void Model_SaveCellInfo(object sender, GridSaveCellInfoEventArgs e)
+{
+   if(e.ColIndex > 0 && e.RowIndex == 0)
+   {
+      int colIndex1 = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.NameToColIndex("Column2");
+      if(colIndex1 == e.ColIndex)
+      {
+         if(e.Style.CellValue != null)
+  CheckBoxValue = (bool)e.Style.CellValue;
+      }
+   }
+}
+```
+
+## VB
+
+```VB
+Private CheckBoxValue As Boolean = False
+Private Sub Model_QueryCellInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs)
+  If e.ColIndex > 0 AndAlso e.RowIndex = 0 Then
+    Dim colIndex1 As Integer = Me.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.NameToColIndex("Column2")
+    If colIndex1 = e.ColIndex Then
+      e.Style.Description = "Check"
+      e.Style.CellValue = CheckBoxValue
+      e.Style.CellValueType = GetType(Boolean)
+      e.Style.CheckBoxOptions = New GridCheckBoxCellInfo(True.ToString(), False.ToString(), "", True)
+      e.Style.CellType = "CheckBox"
+      e.Style.CellAppearance = GridCellAppearance.Raised
+      e.Style.Enabled = True
+    End If
+  End If
+End Sub
+Private Sub Model_SaveCellInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridSaveCellInfoEventArgs)
+  If e.ColIndex > 0 AndAlso e.RowIndex = 0 Then
+    Dim colIndex1 As Integer = Me.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.NameToColIndex("Column2")
+    If colIndex1 = e.ColIndex Then
+      If e.Style.CellValue IsNot Nothing Then
+        CheckBoxValue = CBool(e.Style.CellValue)
+      End If
+    End If
+  End If
+End Sub
