There was a great article on this subject in the 4/00 issue of FoxPro Advisor (p. 42, 'Create the Ultimate Grid', by Doron Farber). He describes ways to implement grid column sorts by clicking on the column header, as well as an incremental search within the column. In a nutshell it involves creating a container class and a grid class. Each column of the grid in turn uses a custom text box which contains the desired functionality.
