Create an easier way to show checkbox in the grid
Basically, when a boolean is placed in a grid, it displays true/false.  It would be better to show it either checked/unchecked.  There is a template to be used, but it has a couple of issues:
1. you need to define it for every check box
2. It is either enabled or disabled.  Ideally, it should be disabled in display mode, and enabled in edit mode.

Hello,

There isn't really an unified way to handle this case. For example if we render a checkbox which is disabled in display mode how should we enter edit mode when incell editing is used? Click is not fired for disabled elements. Moreover if we place an enabled checkbox and we switch the checkboxes when clicked it will be visually confusing. We can not apply a solution for only a give scenario, it should fit all cases accordingly. Considering the aforementioned using a template is the most flexible option when handling this case.

This "new way" would be better if it has some way to easily apply classes to "design" special appearance on these checkboxes, since they aren't input fields (clickable).
