You add two editboxes to the column and issue:

***Grid.Init event
This.MyColumn.DynamicCurrentControl= ;  "IIF(thisform.gridRecno=RECNO("gridcursor"),'editbox1','editbox2')"

Thisform.Gridrecno is custom property which is reset in both Gird.Before/AfterRowColumnChange events. 'Gridcursor' is grid recordsource
