Hi!

Yes, this is by design. Grid do not supports completely such objects as command buttons, containers, controls etc. Even graphical-style checkbox (that displays data correctly, but is not resized correctly) required workaround.

You're not correct that you cannot change width and height of control insode of the grid column. Put in the Init method of the control following lines:

this.Height = this.parent.parent.RowHeight
this.Width = this.parent.Width

You will have to trap also some events of grid and column when cell is resized.

HTH.

The only way to get the instantiated class to be the right size is to add it to the grid column programmatically. I can work around it but I would rather not have to. :-) Am I missing sonmething here?
