Hi Neil,

I'm getting a little confused.

If sparse is .f. you will have the editbox in all cells in the column and the color will be the backcolor of the editbox.

If sparse is .t. you will only have the editbox in the cell with focus. For all the other cells the dynamicbackcolor will be used.

If you want to use the dynamicbackcolor, I suggest you set sparse to .t., but, so that the editbox color matches the dynamicbackcolor, set the backcolor in the gotfocus event of the editbox.

Hope this helps

Mace

>Hi Macer,
>You are correct. If I set sparse = .t., the backcolor responds to the dynamicbackcolor setting each time the grid is refreshed. However, I need the grid to display all of the editboxs in a column, not just the one I clicked on. Can you think of a way to have sparse=.f. but also to have the backcolor respond to the dynamicbackcolor setting?
