Dragan, the consensus (from earlier threads) is NO, you can't sub-class a column or header. You can make a builder to update your grid properties, or you can make a grid class with 10+ columns (more than you're going to need, that is). If you do the latter, then pre-set the formatting in all the columns, and control the final grid by changing the ColumnCount property.
