I did. I changed the controlsource of the textbox in the listbox.init no help. I think I read somewhere that the value displayed when not in focus is internal to foxpro, not the default textbox.

>>I have a grid based on a view that contains a listbox that displays a value other than the controlsource. The listbox is BoundTo a surogate key that is not displayed in the listbox (columnwidth = 0). Using Sparse = .f. the screen update is too slow and looks horrible. With sparse = .t., the grid displays the surrogate key.
