>>Instead of having a parent with "X" number of colunns pre-populated with redundant event code, is there a way to cause new text fields added in each column to be a subclass of a separate text field class, one containing all the event code needed, just once?

>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...

That works! Thanks a LOT!
