ok.. I see that addcolumn() is only good for the built in column class or the memberclass if specified... same result if you just assign a number to ColumnCount. AddObject (or NewObject()) is more flexible and updates ColumnCount, *and* the columns and controls collections ... so they are way more flexible.------------------------------------------------------------------------*From:* nycfoxsig-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:nycfoxsig-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] *On Behalf Of *Jay Berardinelli*Sent:* Sunday, November 04, 2007 8:47 PM *To:* nycfoxsig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx*Subject:* [nycfoxsig] Re: Hey Jay... what's up with this? -- table driven gridsi dont use memberclass... that's another way to do it. with other issues that you need to work it.you're making it harder than it needs to be. jay Lew wrote:I'm using a memberclass in the grid def, so my custom col is loaded anyway...also with a custom header... getting a custom text (or whatever) is tricky.------------------------------------------------------------------------*From:* nycfoxsig-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:nycfoxsig-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] *On Behalf Of *Jay Berardinelli*Sent:* Sunday, November 04, 2007 7:35 PM *To:* nycfoxsig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx*Subject:* [nycfoxsig] Re: Hey Jay... what's up with this? -- table driven gridsyup... if you add a subclass of column it does.

Lew wrote:Hi Jay:Started playing with table driven grids. Things went ok until I started with multiple use's for the same table, set filters, etc... until I discovered setting bindcontrols to .f. while loading the col definitions. When the entire form is good to go, setting bindcontrols .t. seems to work. Any idea what up with this? -Lew
