We are not discussing commercial framework here. Correct? IMO, having grid within container class looks better, though I would not invent anything specific about this.
Actually, grid's instability appears when cursor (its recordsource) gets 'unstable', e.g. gets overridden by SELECT-SQL. Resordsource is secondary indication.


>I don't see how having a direct subclass of the Grid Class, with custom methods is affected by the Grids instability..... When you talk about the issues with columns, and not being able to subclass those, sure, that is a pain... However, the rationale you give here does not follow...... And by the way, grids by themselves do not lose their settings... It is usually the result of tinkering with the Recordsource Property....

>OK. so you would create a container class, and then add a Grid to that class, and then in turn, add the container to a form... That is fine. Then you should add a custom method to the container, and communicate with that interface, instead of the Grid Interfacce... Would you agree with that????

I don't really follow you here. I understand interface as whole thing comprising all elements (including forms, containers, grid etc) together. I don't really know what mean as 'grid interface'. Container is good because it creates some kind of hierarchy. Realistically, grid will not work on its own, it will have some correlated controls around, some buttons, textbox etc. Look at Calendar Active-X. It's good example.

That's not serious. Most of my projects have empty form page in project window, everything in class page.
