Raymond, you may use Dynamic... properties for that.
*Grid.Init()
this.column1.DynamicForeColor = "iif(myfield > 100, this.column1.ForeColor, this.column1.BackColor)"

You also need to handle your .textbox.ForeColor and .SelectedForeColor properties similar way:

this.ForeColor = iif(this.value >100, this.BackColor, this.ForeColor)
this.SelectedForeColor = ...

in .TextBox.GotFocus (and reset it in LostFocus)
