In the INIT of the container of my GridCheckBox class, I put:

This.ChkBox.ControlSource = This.Parent.ControlSource

This refers to the container, and This.Parent refers to the grid column. So all I have to do is make sure the Column ControlSource is properly defined. I, of course, changed the name of the checkbox in the container to ChkBox and blanked the Caption property.

I also have Resize code to size the container then center the checkbox in the container.

if upper(This.Parent.Parent.BaseClass) = "GRID"
   with This
	.Width  = .Parent.Width
	.Height = .Parent.Parent.RowHeight
	.chkBox.Left = max(0, int((.Width  - .chkBox.Width)  / 2))
	.chkBox.Top  = max(0, int((.Height - .chkBox.Height) / 2))
   endwith
endif
