This sounds like it would work to me, but as I'm going for a general solution through additions to my grid base class I'm just going to think about it for a while. I would like to figure out why the problem that I have is happening in the first place ... maybe I can find another way around it. Putting the grid in a container is nasty, as I would have to go to all my grids and give them each a custom upgrade.

Good thought, but I'm going to sleep on this one. If I get a little closer to defining my problem cleanly, I'll publish some code and ask for thoughts.
