>VFP Grid is quite smarter than of VB. It is a container control which can hold different objects in a single column. You have the luxury to interchange these controls as you wish without much pain. In VB, the controls are arranged in a straight line form but in VFP it's in hierarchical tree form. I am not sure if it has something to do with that OOP issue between VB and VFP.

For hierarchical grid, look at the «Microsoft Hierarchical FlexGrid Control».

I thought of something else. You can build your very own grid by using the DataRepeater control. You first have to build an ActiveX control that represents on line of your grid and then repeat it using the Data Repeater control. I have to say that you are very limited with this control.
