For now I released what I have and the tester is going to test and let us know everything she finds. I know one problem which I've been unable to fix so far. My suspicion is that this problem is related to GridHitTest and using ActivateCell method by saving the relative row and column first. I am thinking that it may not work 100% reliable with that current implementation.

I may embrace the idea of trying to switch to direct double click of the cell handling instead of using that ClickContainer as we have right now. Since there is a lot of code involved, I am a bit reluctant to take the plunge yet.

In C# I completed one class (ahead of two other programmers who still struggle with theirs), but I do need to write one little function to make it 100% complete and be able to move to the next. Unfortunately, that function seems to be also tricky and it's recursive and uses a variable defined in the caller.

Just to let you know what I am talking about, here is that function VFP implementation:

      * Caution! Recursive function.
   protected procedure XmlDisp(x as string, nLev as integer, lcC as Boolean )   as void
      local cTagName, cContents, mterm
      * This function expects lcResult to be initialised prior to making this call
      do while .t.
         cTagName = strextract(x,"<",">")
         if len(cTagName) = 0   && no tag found
            && print out raw string as contents
            if lcC
               * Credit card security
               lnCClen = len(x)
               x = padl(right(x,4),lnCClen,'X')
            endif
            lcResult = lcResult + x
            exit
         endif
         if right(cTagName,1) = '/'   && like "<region/>"
            cTagName = left(cTagName, len(cTagName)-1)
            cContents=""
            mterm = "<"+cTagName+"/>"   && "<region/>"
         else
            mterm = "</"+cTagName+">"   && "</region>"
            cContents = strextract(x,"<"+cTagName+">", mterm,1,2)
         endif
         if !empty(cContents) && Get rid of empty fields
            do case
               case (chrtran(cContents, '1234567890.-', '') == '' and val(cContents) = 0)
                  * skip numeric fields that are zero
               case upper(left(cContents,5)) = "FALSE"
                  * skip logic fields that are false
               otherwise
                  lcResult= lcResult+ chr(13)+chr(10)+replicate(" ",nLev)+padr(cTagName+":",15)
                  .XmlDisp(cContents, nLev+1, upper(cTagName)='CC_SWIPE')
            endcase
         endif
         x = strextract(x, mterm)   && get the rest of the xml
      enddo
      endproc
