I didn't say it'd allow selecting text but it can get focus. ie:

PUBLIC oForm
oForm = CREATEOBJECT('myForm')
oForm.Show

DEFINE CLASS myForm as Form
    datasession = 2
    Height = 200
    Width = 600
    PROCEDURE load
        USE (_samples+'data\customer')
    endproc

    ADD OBJECT myGrid as grid WITH height=200,width=600

    procedure init
        WITH this.myGrid.Columns(2)
            .NewObject('text2','myTextBox')
            .CurrentControl = 'text2'
            .Sparse = .f.
            .text2.visible = .t.
        endwith
    endproc
ENDDEFINE

DEFINE CLASS myTextBox as textbox
    PROCEDURE when
        RETURN .f.
    ENDPROC
enddefine
