# CustomCell class

Namespace: [Eto.Forms](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/namespace/eto.forms.md) · Assembly: [Eto](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/assembly/eto.md)

```cs
[Handler(CustomCell.IHandler)]
public class CustomCell : Cell
```

Cell for [Grid](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.grid.md) controls to create custom content for the cell.

**Remarks:** The CustomCell is useful when you want to provide a fully custom implementation of a cell, including editable controls. Note that some platforms bahave differently with a CustomCell, depending on the value of [CustomCell.SupportsControlView](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.customcell/supportscontrolview.md). When `false`, the grid will use the [CustomCell.Paint](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.customcell/paint.md) event to paint the contents of each cell, and only use [CustomCell.CreateCell](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.customcell/createcell.md) and [CustomCell.ConfigureCell](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.customcell/configurecell.md) when the cell is in edit mode. When `true`, the [CustomCell.CreateCell](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.customcell/createcell.md) and [CustomCell.ConfigureCell](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.customcell/configurecell.md) methods will be used for all cells, even when not in edit mode.
