Show Yes or No for a boolean column in a DevXpress grid

I am using a "DevXpress.XtraGrid.GridView" and I have a column there which is bound to a boolean data. This column shows check boxes to represent values. I need to show "YES/NO" instead of check boxes. Please advice me.

Thanks for helping, Kushan Randima.

This is how I do it in code in one of my tools. This is a dynamic SQL Query tool and it returns a checkmark or red X beside the query result, at runtime. You can also do this through the designer but this is done in code.

This is for Winforms, but the low level GridView should be the same code for WPF (I am not positive).

First, in the Data Grid GridView designer, I add a column (mine is "IsError" column). Then in my form constructor or InitializeForm() I do this:

RepositoryItemCheckEdit checkEdit = gridOutput.RepositoryItems.Add("CheckEdit") as RepositoryItemCheckEdit;

checkEdit.PictureChecked = global::Gyrasoft.Common.DX.Properties.Resources.exclamation;
checkEdit.PictureUnchecked = global::Gyrasoft.Common.DX.Properties.Resources.accept;

checkEdit.CheckStyle = DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.CheckStyles.UserDefined;
gridViewOutput.Columns["IsError"].ColumnEdit = checkEdit;

The resources, of course, have to be valid images.

Basically you add a repository item (RepositoryItemCheckEdit) and set CheckStyle to UserDefined, and assign the checkEdit to the gridView column. You can add the same checkedit to multiple columns. It is simply for rendering or editing.
