Capture value in datatemplate assigned to checkbox column

Hello, how are you?

I have a sfdatagrid that is shared by the whole application, in this scenario there may be cases of having more than one column of the chechbox type.

What I'm doing is assigning a template to these checkbox columns.

What I need is to take the value of this cell and then apply a converter and use icons.

In the documentation I saw an example, but the column name is passed there, but it doesn't work for my scenario, because I need this to be dynamic, as I will have several checkbox columns and with different names.

I also saw it on the internet saying to use {Binding CellBoundValue}, I tried it and was unsuccessful. If I use the column name it works, but then I will have to make a very large template with all the column name options. Totally unfeasible.

Attached are the images that will show how I am doing.

Hi Tech Shop, 
 
Thank you for using Syncfusion controls. 
 
You can achieve your requirement of “Same template apply different column” by setting the Binding as Value and SetCellBoundValue as true. Please refer the below code snippet. 
 
<DataTemplate   x:Key="cellTemplate"> 
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center"> 
        <Button Content="{Binding Path=Value,Converter={StaticResource converter}}" Width="70" Height="25" /> 
        <TextBlock  Foreground="Red" 
            Margin="3,0,0,0" 
            Text="{Binding Path=Value, Converter={StaticResource converter}}"/> 
        <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=Value,Converter={StaticResource converter}}"/> 
    </StackPanel> 
</DataTemplate> 
 
 
if(e.Column.MappingName=="IsClosed") 
 { 
     e.Column = new GridTemplateColumn() 
     { 
         MappingName = e.Column.MappingName, 
         SetCellBoundValue=true, 
         CellTemplate = Application.Current.FindResource("cellTemplate") as DataTemplate 
     }; 
 }
