>I dont see the significance of calling the Grid's doubleclick... is'nt this the original problem ..i.e. This does not fire because the controls in the grid fire ??

Here is the idea: In the DblClick() of all the control's double click, put:

This.Parent.Parent.DoubleClick()

Then put what you want to happen in the DoubleClick() method you added to your grid class. This means, you can use the same control classes evrywhere you want, even is they double click is supposed to be different. Thats beacuse the DblClick() code can be stored in a GridClass, or a Grids instance on a form.

Does this make sense now?
