>> Ko, it is not needed for proper working of DblClick. Sparse affects representation only, not events. For example, it is useful to show checkboxes in column, not in current line only.

The first item that gets events here is control in column. I also do not see why column control even need to be subclassed, because evrything you need could be done using control, header and grid class. Column class subclassed causes VFP crash often, as well as it is very hard to maintain and use. Header can be made as class in VCX library, and it can be put into column in design-time.
HTH.
