I believe Cetin answered all your questions, so I won't do that here. However, you might look at Message #1290811 if you didn't see it already.

>>Hey, that's interesting Fabio. I guess what's going on is VFP is saying, when it refreshes the grid, "There's something in the DynamicFontShadow property, so I need to evaluate the DynamicFontShadow." Then when it does that, the SetVar method is called, which increments the rowsData variable. And DynamicFontShadow is only evaluated for the number of visible rows with data. Now, on the day I need this, will I remember this technique <g> (or should I just put it in my grid class as a method - GetNumberOfVisibleRowsWithData).
