This is true, and a common limitation working with grids. If you're going to replace default controls, you'll have to do things the way you are...it's a trade-off (unless they improve it someday :)

I usually just use a number of different grid classes, since they serve different functions anyway, and don't bother to replace the default controls, maybe just removing some columns, and work with the visual/default classes...I almost always have to manually enter header captions, anyway, since they're dictated by requirements, and cannot be just control sources...
