The trick I had in mind was first to get x and y of the clicked upper object with amouseobj. And then get the object reference of the currentcontrol of the column by calling sys(1270,x,y+30). And then going to the header of that column. However, the x and y values are not compatible and so far I can't discover their relationship.

Neat! If there's a flicker, you may set thisform.lockscreen=.t. before and reset it after.
