David,

Below I have COPYed the VFP5.0 Help for the Grid container.
If the Help is where one is to go to "find detail info", then I hope you agree that it is quite lacking!
Aside from simply how it looks, how about how it reacts when the cursor is clicked in a column?... When the record-pointer is moved??? and tons of other "detail"?????

No, the Help does not give the answers required. It is, in fact, nowhere in the docs that I have found!

regards,
Jim N

Remarks

A grid is a container object that displays data in rows and columns, and is similar in appearance to a Browse window. A grid is also a container object that contains column objects. A column can contain a Header object and controls. Because a grid and its columns, headers, and controls each have their own set of properties, you have complete control over each element of the grid. You can create a grid interactively using the Grid Builder.

For additional information about creating grids, see Chapter 10, “Using Controls,” in the Developer’s Guide.
