>>>Thanks, I think it will be possible to capture the click event of the shape-object, and force a click event at the same coordinates for the underlying grid. At least I will give it a try.

>>That's a little trickier. For that, I use no shape, but column Mousemove with Vlad Tatavu's procedure for converting the mouse pointer (in the UT KB), which uses API calls to do the business. I can give you some tips if you decide to go that way...

>The following code in the click event method for the shape object works, but it appears to be a little slow. I would like to try out the way you are suggesting. Could you tell me where to find "Vlad's procedure" in UT KB.

Sure, look in the KB in FAQs under Win32api...

Basically, you can split the code into 2 methods, one to set the mouse as you enter a grid column, and the other to restore it upon exit...
