I've also found memberclass to be unusable for prg based columns.
My columns accept four more parameters at init - the header caption, controlsource, and the class and classlib for the current control (the default textbox is never used - it defaults to my grdText class and also my header class).

The solution is a builder which creates the proper set of commands for grid's .init - the generated code looks like this:

*-- generated by BLDC7.OVM.WRITEINIT 06.08.2006 11:47:13
Local lcAlias
lcAlias=Alias()
This.RecordSource=lcAlias
This.ColumnCount=0
This.Newobject("oColSifra","gcol","dcgrids.prg","","šifra", Forceext(lcAlias, "sifra"))
With This.oColSifra
	.Sparse	=	.F.
	.Width	=	Iif(.Width=75, 66, .Width)

	With .hdr1
		.Caption	=	[šifra]
	Endwith

	With .grdText
		.BackColor	=	16777215
		.BorderStyle	=	0
		.ForeColor	=	0
		.Margin	=	0
	Endwith
Endwith

This.Newobject("oColNaziv1","gcol","dcgrids.prg","","naziv osnovnog sredstva", Forceext(lcAlias, "naziv1"))
With This.oColNaziv1
... etc etc

I have a metadata table where I keep each column's parameters, so at design time I have a two-way communication between the builder and the grid-in-design (i.e. whatever I do to the grid visually gets copied into the metatable, and whatever I edit there gets set as a property of the corresponding column - there are buttons for that). The final step is the creation of this init code, and setting the .columncount to zero. Then it works.
