John,

>In this respect, I am bad. I rarely subclass grids because they are a pain in the ass. I suppose you could use Grid.Column.Setall() to change your captions on init.

Ok, I'll give it a try. May be somebody else can jump into this discussion with their ideas?

We have our subclass of grid with only one method added - SetOrder, which allows to change order clicking on the header. It still needs to add code in Click event of header in each instance of the grid... I believe, there are tonns of other improvements in our grid class.

Unfortunately, I'm not the person, who is responsible for any changes in our classes :(
