>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.

I don't think that listbox will look good inside the grid. Basically, if you want to display some value in listbox differed from its controlsource, then you use e.g. 2-column cursor as listbox rowsource with surrogate key (controlsource) in second column and use Listbox.Boundcolumn=2
