>>Hi,

>>I have check box in a container used in a grid. I want the check box caption say "Yes" if the field it is bound to is .T./1 or "No" if .F./0. First I tried to do it in the Refresh method of the check box but it never fires (probably because the checkbox is in the container). Then I tried to put an IIF() expression in the Caption field but all it does, is showing the expression.

I think in order for the above code to work in a grid, the checkbox control Refresh method has to fire. But when I put some "test" code in the Refresh method of the checkbox, it never fires. You see, the InteractiveChange or Click() do not work because user does not change the value. All I want is that based on whatever value is in the field to show (in grid) Yes or No. But now that I am describing it, maybe I should change the control from checkbox to textbox and - maybe - the refresh will fire in a text box.
Thank you.
