Inheriting DataGridViewTextBoxColumn

[macowl]

I have a specialized column I want to create for a datagridview that is very similar to a textboxcolumn. It will display text however, I simply want to perform a small operation on the text when it loads into the datagrid. I have created a column and cell class inheriting from datagridviewtextbox column and cell. Now I simply want to run the text being displayed in the cell through a function before displaying. Any ideas?

I have managed to get the text to display with the required changes, only one problem. The changes I make to the text results in less text, about half actually. When the text displays the cell size is still big enough to accommodate the original text.

Is this something that really requires a custom DGV Column?...or can you just use the events provided in the DGV to call the function that formats the text?
