>>>>I want to put the same code in headers and textboxes for several columns. The current approach is to copy the same code, but I thought BindEvent() might be a better approach. Now, the current commands include references to This, and I assume that in the delegate code, This would refer to the delegate object. Is there a way to find out the original object (e.g., some grid column, or Grid Header in the column) from which object the delegate method was called?

Imho, having non-visual classes created by some PRGs 'hidden' somewhere in the project deserves to be called 'hidden programming technique' no less than bindevent coding. My preference is to use 'visual' classes (including 'custom' class) only and use bindevent technique when visual class is not available.
