I would like to create a custom datagridview column containing text images and MS Word OLE objects

Question

I am an old time LabView programmer going back to 2.0.  But moved on with my career several years ago.  But here I am back attempting a custom column in dataviewgrid control.  .NET is hard.  My goal is to read in an MS Word document and parse it out to a custom column.  The column will contain regular old text, images and MS Word objects, sometimes called OLE objects.
There is scant information on creating .NET and labview when it comes to form manipulation.  I have stuggled through the learning curve and now able to insert a text box column into a datagridview and add it to the form container and actually size it to the datagridview control.  I've added a menu, but still figuring out the layout class.  Did I say .NET is hard?
I know there must be a custom column created and even found a C# example, sorta.  Trouble is the example uses easy stuff like override and private.  It will take me another 3 weeks for that, darnit I'm getting lazy.
Does anybody out there have some example of a custom column in the datagridview?
If you ask to post code.  I have nothing I would be proud to show.

This is what the progress looks like so far.  I broke the tasks down in sub VIs.  One to create a custom cell so I can add it to the column CellTemplate.  The other to add the column to the control.  My limited knowledge of .NET and the implementation in LV causes me to question the value of LV .NET.
The coding to create a TextBoxCell override with ImageCell CellTemplate.  Honestly I'm guessing what to do, because the LV documentation on inheritance and overriding is poor at best.
The column coding to add the cell to the custom column.
Probe 19 always comes up with an error.  The error is the standard 1172 with no clue what is causing it.  The "index" will work on 0 or 1, I suspect bc the two cell types are 0 and 1 but nothing tells me that, just guessing.
