And even weirder - I added a parameter to my column class (.prg based) to not kill the original .text1, unbound the column, set the .text1.controlsource="=(alltrim(alias.memofield))", and now I'm getting blanks outside the current cell, and in the current cell it types blanks whatever I type in the editbox, but when I come back to the cell, what I typed is actually there.

Of course, a workaround exists:
- add two editboxes to the column: EBEdit and EBShow
- on the active row, set CurrentControl="EB1" ( uses DynamicCurrentControl ... )

But, it is not so simple as it appears.


I wish this:

Allow to set a Column's control for the active row,
with a new SparseControl ( or ActiveControl or FocusControl, or use Sparse ... ) text property,
and others controls into the not active row ( with DynamicCurrentControl )

like a native VFP's feature.

This boost the VFP's grid a lot.
