Use the CellValue property to change the cell's value. For instance, if a cell has a drop down list editor, the CellCaption property retrieves the caption of the predefined values. Use the CellImage property to assign an icon to a cell. Use the CellImages property to assign multiple icons to a cell. Use the CellPicture property to assign a custom size picture to a cell.
