multicolored text in the grid cells

Thanks James. I am able to have a multi-color label now. Could you please explain to me how to create these two types (DataGridViewColumn and DataGridViewCell ) and how to hook them up to the Infragistics' UltraGridColumn.

Thanks

Vlad

STEP 1:

You'll need to create a custom control that does the multicolor text. 
It is probably easiest inherited from Label (I assume you're not going to have users inputting text into the cells).
Here is a very basic implementation.  Obviously, you'd need to beef up this class with some more useful functionality,
but it shows you how to draw the multicolor label:

Public Class myMultiColorLabel

   Inherits Label
   Private ColorStrings As New Dictionary(Of String, Color)
     Public Sub New()
          MyBase.AutoSize = False
          Me.ColorStrings.Add("WordOne ", Color.Red)
          Me.ColorStrings.Add("WordTwo ", Color.Blue)
          Me.ColorStrings.Add("WordThree ", Color.Green)
      End Sub
 Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)

      Dim graphics As Graphics = e.Graphics
      Dim runningWidthTotal As Double = 0 'keep track of where to place each character
       For Each d As KeyValuePair(Of String, Color) In Me.ColorStrings

        graphics.DrawString(d.Key, MyBase.Font, New SolidBrush(d.Value), _
        runningWidthTotal, 0)
        runningWidthTotal += graphics.MeasureString(d.Key, MyBase.Font).Width
   Next

     MyBase.Width = runningWidthTotal
   End Sub
End Class

STEP 2:
   You'll need to create custom DataGridViewColumn and DataGridViewCell types to
   host the control you create in the first step.
