>>>Is there a way to make mygrid class contain mytextbox class when creating a grid instead of the VFP textbox class?
>>Hi Colin,
>>There are design time and runtime solutions. For desgn time as David suggested already you can use a builder. Here is a sample I use for quick grid controls class change :
lParameters lcOldClass, lcNewClass, lcClassLib, lcApplyTo, lcKeepProperty, lcParams

Hi Colin,
In form designer you select one or more grids then run the code from command window ie: =gridbuild("textbox","mytextbox","myclasses") (as noted in comments). In this example all (could specify a columnlist) "textbox" classes in selected grids are replaced with "mytextbox" from "myclasses.vcx" as if you selected current textbox, removed and added mytextbox in designer (Code removeobjects textbox and addobjects "mytextbox" ). So if there are method codes already in columns(x).text1, it's gone. I use this little code immediately after using default grid builder to set controlsources etc. It's a quick builder code for only grids so I needn't to register it as a builder at all.
In your case, I would get a copy of grid, select copy in designer, run the code then modify code for some columns, containing code (if code couldn't be controlled at class level), then delete old grid.
