<div class="markdown level1 summary"><p>Gets or sets a value that indicates how to paint the cell.
If true, the cell uses the inner control's painting to paint the cell, in this case, the cell paints exactly the same as the editing control.
All settings of the cell such as fields with different styles are shown when painting the cell. The cell's paint performance is slow if painting by the control,
rather than painting the string directly. Also, the text in the cell cannot be selected when exporting to pdf.
If false, performance is good but some settings do not take effect.</p>
