        this.dataGrid.CellRenderers.Remove("CheckBox");
        dataGrid.CellRenderers.Add("CheckBox", new DataGridCheckBoxCellRendererExt());
    }

public class DataGridCheckBoxCellRendererExt : DataGridCheckBoxCellRenderer
{
    protected override void OnInitializeDisplayView(DataColumnBase dataColumn, StackLayout? view)
    {
        base.OnInitializeDisplayView(dataColumn, view);

        if (view != null && view.Children[0] is CheckBox checkBox)
