Try creating a textbox class (ex: MyGridTextBox) in the same classlib as your subclassed grid. Put the necessary generic code in this object. Then when building your grid columns out, AddObject( "newText", "myGridTextBox" ) to each column. Then, as necessary with either explicit column.currentcontrol = "newtext", or by using Grid.SetAll() method, make all current controls = the custom textbox added...

HTH.
