Sizing buttons in buttoncolumn in DataGridView

Is it possible to have a button column in a DataGridView that has its buttons sized smaller than the cell that the button is in? that is, I want the button to be smaller than the cell that it is in.

Thanks

Hi, ExcelMonkey,

Based on my understanding ,you want the Buttons in your DataGridViewButtonColumn smaller than the cell, don't you?

I think you can set the Padding style of the DefaultCellStyle.

For example

Code Block

DataTable datatable = new DataTable();

datatable.Columns.Add("col1");

datatable.Columns.Add("col2");

datatable.Rows.Add("ABC", "bcd");

datatable.Rows.Add("bcd", "ABC");

dataGridView1.DataSource = datatable;

DataGridViewButtonColumn column = new DataGridViewButtonColumn();

column.Width = 100;

column.DefaultCellStyle.Padding = new Padding(5);

dataGridView1.Columns.Add(column);

Hope this helps,
