Is it possible to add CheckBoxcolumn only at certain rows in a datagridview

I will have my data grid view as follows
RecordTypeCode Content
FileHeader 1111111111111
BatchHeader 5666666666666
EntryDetail 656546545644545
BatchControl 8654654564564
FileControl 945645
I would like to have check boxes only at BatchHeader and EntryDetail is it possible. This is the way i am binding data to data grid view
if (line.StartsWith("1"))
{
dcID = new DataColumn("RecordTypeCode");
dt.Columns.Add(dcID);
DataColumn dcSomeText = new DataColumn("Content");
dt.Columns.Add(dcSomeText);
dr = dt.NewRow();
dr["RecordTypeCode"] = filecontrolvariables.rectype[line.Substring(0, 1)].ToString();
dr["Content"] = line;
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
}

if (line.StartsWith("5"))
{
dr = dt.NewRow();
dr = dt.NewRow();
dr["RecordTypeCode"] = filecontrolvariables.rectype[line.Substring(0, 1)].ToString();
dr["Content"] = line;
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
}
I would like to add check boxes as per needed can any one help me
I tried this
if (e.RowIndex >= 0 && e.ColumnIndex >= 0)
{
if (dataGridView2.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["RecordTypeCode"].Value.ToString() == "BatchHeader")
{
e.PaintBackground(e.ClipBounds, true);
e.Handled = true;
}
}

I got the answer at last

if (e.RowIndex >= 0 && e.ColumnIndex >= 0)
{
//if (e.ColumnIndex == && (e.RowIndex == 1 || e.RowIndex == 2))
if (dataGridView2.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["RecordTypeCode"].Value.ToString() == "Batch Header" && e.ColumnIndex == 0)
{
e.PaintBackground(e.ClipBounds, false);
e.Handled = false;
}
