>I am using the dynamic colors though, but some of my code (to change the row that gets the color) is in the textbox (or combo, or whatever) "when" event, so when the row is moved down, the "when" event fires changing the row that gets the color. One alternative was to use the "AfterRowColChange" of the grid, but this is too sluggish, the other way looks much nicer.
yes defenetly using the wen event is the way to go
what I am soing is subclassing the column record
but anyway
I didn't see any problem with using other controls in the grid
(I have even added a container with more than one field to a grid to display -mini-forms in each cell)
try to change the columns sparse property though it should only make a differance for the rows that don't have the focus and not the row that has the focus..
