Hi Larry,

Yes, that's what I am going to do. I am going to provide this (and other - like save/restore grid settings functionality) possibility with
OnBeforeHighlight_Row and OnPostHighlight_Row methods. In fact, I already have the working version of it. :)
This way it is done in my Click-Transparent controls (see my article in December FPA) with OnBeforePassClick and OnPostPassClick methods where the user can add the subclass- or instance-specific code to perform whatever else s/he wants.
In fact, CntGridCover sample class provided there shares the code with the GridHighlighter and uses OnPostPassClick to provide multiple-record-selection-in-a-grid functionality.

>With all the possibilities, you could be getting into a deep pit here. I suggest you specify a hook interface that you support. Your class will pass color information to the specified method/property of the Container. Then developers could implement that information anyway they wanted at the container level.

>>>Yes. Have the DynamicForeColor of the Grid.Column call a function that not only returns a valid color but sets the Textbox ForeColor as well. You can create a grid class with a special function for that or call a form level method.
