Check out Cetin Basoz FAQ titled "Images, containers in grid" for this exact technique. You don't need to add it again.

>>Hi Nadya
>>Please go throu the FAQ u told me to write ..

>>* FAQ start ->
>>
>>Hello there.
>>
>>I am sure many a times VFP users have felt the need to put a Container control in a grid control or maybe show an image in the grid column. All this works fine but what if you wanted to change properties of a control in the container depending on conditions in the underlying table.
>>
>>Let's take an example.
>>We have a table with the following structure ..
>>
>>tblProducts
>>-------------------
>>cName C(30)
>>nCode N(5)
>>mDescription (Memo)
>>
>>We are displaying this data in a grid via a Container with some controls on them.
>>2 TextBoxes and 1 Command Button
>>The requirement is to enable/disable the Command Button if there is data in the memo field. Simply put we want to do this ..
>>
>>if Empty(MemoField)
>> CommandButton.enabled = .f.
>>else
>> CommandButton.enabled = .t.
>>endif
>>
>>This applys to all records in the table and so to the Container in the grid. Every row in the grid will have a different state of the CommandButton depending on the row in the table from where the data is comming.
>>
>>In a normal situation one could put code in the refresh event of the command button of the control but that does not work.
>>
>>A workaround is to call a function for each row and update the CommandButton's state accordingly.
>>
>>We can do so by setting the DynamicBackColor property to a Function in a form.
>>In our exampl we can set the Grid.Column1.DynamicBackColor property to =Thisform.DummyFunction()
>>
>>The code in the DummyFunction would look something like this
>>
>>* DummyFunction()
>>If empty(Table.MemoField)
>> Thisform.Grid.Column1.Container.CommandButton.Enabled = .F.
>>else
>> Thisform.Grid.Column1.Container.CommandButton.Enabled = .T.
>>EndIf
>>
>>That' all there is to it.

>>The Refresh method of the Grid, does not propagate like the Refresh method of a form. You could the following functionality to your grid to correct this "flaw".
>>local lxx, oControl
>>With THIS
>> For lxx = 1 to .ColumnCount
>> oControl = Eval(".Columns[lxx]."+.Columns[lxx].CurrentControl)
>> if pemstatus(oControl,'Refresh',5) then
>> oControl.Refresh()
>> endif
>> Endfor
>>Endwith
>>Add the code to the Refresh method of the grid. It will go through and call the Refresh methods of all currentcontrols. If more than one control is in a column, the non-active one doesn't get updated. You could change this if you like.

>>That's all folks ..!
