Datagridview cell customization problem

Hello All.

I have one problem with customizing datagridview cells content.

Supppose we have table with 3 fields: From, Subject, Date.

I want to display these 3 db fields in one custom cell (I want to make it like in MS Outlook's "Inbox" where we have it formatted: "Subject" with big font, "From" and "Date" with smaller font). Also I'd like to use databinding to achieve these results.

Is it possible? (I looked at customized cells and columns but I did not find an example where 2 and more fields were incorporated into one cell)

Thanks in advance

I believe that the sample he mentions can be found here:

It's the one called Outlook 2003 Look and Feel.

Hello Tony and Takashi!

Tony was right - I mentioned Outlook 2003 Look and Feel sample.

So actually there the only thing you need to do is to write your handler for datagrid cell Paint event + handle some additional events as in example.
