That should kick off the refresh method of the form, right? It didn't. I put a set step on right above where I'd said thisform.refresh. Still no help. No refreshing, no stepping, no nothing but regular multiselect grid operation.

Hi Denise,
This problem directly addresses me you know :) We'll get it the way you want and enhance the class. Meanwhile for information about what's going on with the "class" :
All default grid textboxes and headers are replaced with multiselgrdtxtbox and mymselheader classes. You have code in textboxes that never come into action (you never click on them but multiselgrdtxtbox). The only untouched place is grid.click but unfortunately it fires if you click where no columns or record rows exist (ie:rec mark area as Jim said, right of grid after the last column, when last row visible at some place under it etc so in practice you could say there is nowhere to click directly grid). My current workarounds are to include :
this.parent.parent.click in multiselgrdtxtbox.click and call click of default textbox (default textboxes not removed now I wanted to say but to support on the fly source change and still maintain a good column format I had to - working on it to keep the functionality and still support the manually added code - wow I think I just found the solution, I'll let you know CU).
