# TextBoxColumn

The **DataGridViewTextBoxColumn** class is a specialized type of **DataGridViewColumn** class used to logically host cells that enable displaying and editing of text strings. A **DataGridViewTextBoxColumn** has an associated **DataGridViewTextBoxCell** object in every **DataGridViewRow** that intersects it. When a **DataGridViewTextBoxCell** becomes activated, it supplies a **DataGridViewTextBoxEditingControl** control to handle user input.

The sort mode for this column type defaults to `Automatic`.
