Datagridview columns: can they be extended?

[arch]

The datagridview comes with a small list of built-in column types that can
be chosen from, eg DataGridViewTextBoxColumn, DataGridViewLinkColumn,
DataGridViewImageColumn etc. But what I really needed was to create an
input mask for a date field in one of my columns. Is there any way to
modify/extend the datagridview to allow me to use an input mask control for
one of my columns?
