# ButtonColumn

The **DataGridViewButtonColumn** class is a specialized type of the **DataGridViewColumn** class used to logically host cells that respond to simple user input. A **DataGridViewButtonColumn** has an associated **DataGridViewButtonCell** in every **DataGridViewRow** that intersects it. Each cell supplies a user interface (UI) that is similar to a Button control.

To display the same button text for every cell, set the **UseColumnTextForButtonValue** property to `true` and set the **Text** property to the desired button text.

The default sort mode for this column type is `NotSortable`.

To respond to user button clicks, handle the **DataGridView\.CellClick** or **DataGridView\.CellContentClick** event. In the event handler, you can use the **DataGridViewCellEventArgs.ColumnIndex** property to determine whether the click occurred in the button column. You can use the **DataGridViewCellEventArgs.RowIndex** property to determine whether the click occurred in a button cell and not on the column header.
