>I saw a trick where you can sort a column by clicking on the header. I'd like to use this, but it's too time consuming to add the code to every header. So I thought I'd make a header class. But VFP doesn't like it when I try to do that. Is there a way to subclass the header class?

There is also third approach to it, like it is done in VFX framework . There is a grid subcass and a Grid Builder where you just select if the columns should be sorted, and the Grid Builder writes the OnSort() method call into each Header.DblClick(). The indexes a built on the fly and destroyed when necessary by ClearAllidx() method.

Just somebody's 2 cents... :)
