Hi,

Although I read you have already found a solution, you could consider to drop a container in your grid,
the containeer containing an editbox and a button with a magnify icon. The editbox should be only 1 row height like an trextbox, the button activates a nwe form with an editbox - reasonable size an apply and revert button. I believe this UI will be familiar to most users. In fact VFP users know it from the Property boxes in the ProjectManager
