Ok, I guess I missed the connection between the grid needing to be clicked and someone wanting their application to have focus. I guess they are both a matter of focus, just on a different scale. One thing that I don't understand, though, is that if the grid doesn't have the focus, how can I move around it with the keyboard arrows? I didn't think that was possible.

Anyway, where do I put that API call?

Thanks,

Michelle
