Display and edit int column from datatable as hours and minutes in datagridview

Question

I have a database with a field that represents time in minutes. But in my datagridview I wan't to display the time as hh:mm. Eg 130 minutes should display as 02:10, with a masked textbox when editing. I created a DataGridView and put a custum column class named MaskedTextboxMinutes in the time column, and created a custom control for handeling the editing. I only display the textbox when editing the cell, when not editing (i do not want the textbox to display when not editing the cell). When not editing the original int field value (eg 130) in minutes is displayed. The MaskedTextboxMinutes is created to it takes the minutes as input and output, but displays as hh:mm. Question is, where do I put some code to override the way the column is displayed? I would like to avoid overriding the onpaint.

These are my classes for the MaskedTextBoxMinutes and the DataGridView Cell, Column and Control:

Time class:

class Time
{
    public int Hours { get; set; }
    public int Minutes { get; set; }
    public override string ToString()
    {
        string h = Hours.ToString("D2");
        if (h.Length == 1)
            h = "0" + h;
        return Hours.ToString("D2") + ":" + Minutes.ToString("D2");
    }

    public static Time Parse(string time)
    {
        Time t = new Time();
        t.Hours = 0;
        t.Minutes = 0;
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(time))
        {
            time = time.Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "").Replace("\t", "").Replace(" ", "").Trim(); // Remove whitespace chars
            if (time.IndexOf(",") >= 0 || time.IndexOf(".") >= 0 || time.IndexOf(":") < 0)
                throw new Exception("Not a valid time: " + time + " should be format hh:mm");
            string[] hm = time.Split(':');
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(hm[0]))
                hm[0] = "0";
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(hm[1]))
                hm[1] = "0";
            t.Hours = int.Parse(hm[0]);
            t.Minutes = int.Parse(hm[1]);
        }
        return t;
    }

    public static Time FromMinutes(int minutes)
    {
        int hours = minutes / 60;
        minutes -= (hours * 60);
        Time t = new Time();
        t.Hours = hours;
        t.Minutes = minutes;
        return t;
    }

    public int getTotalMinutes()
    {
        return Hours * 60 + Minutes;
    }

}

Class MaskedTextBoxMinutes:

    class MaskedTextBoxMinutes : MaskedTextBox
    {
        public override string Text
        {
            get
            {
                Time t = Time.Parse(base.Text);
                return t.getTotalMinutes().ToString();
            }
            set
            {
                int minutes = 0;
                int.TryParse(value, out minutes);
                base.Text = Time.FromMinutes(minutes).ToString();

Thanks to Crowcoder, I solved it by using the CellFormatting event:

    private void dgvTidsregistrering_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
    {
        DataGridView dgv = (DataGridView)sender;
        if (dgv.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].CellType == typeof(MaskedEditCell))
        {
            double minutes = 0;
            if (e.Value is double)
                minutes = Convert.ToInt32(e.Value);
            else
            {
                if (e.Value == DBNull.Value)
                    minutes = 0;
                else
                    double.TryParse((string)e.Value, out minutes);
            }
            Time t = Time.FromMinutes((int)minutes);
            e.Value = t.ToString();
        }
    }
