>I built a container class. The class has a combobox in it. (Actually 2 comboboxes). Then I inserted an instance of the class into each column of a 5 column grid. So now my grid has the container object instead of the default text, in each column.

>Now I want to use recordsource type of 5 - array, for the combobox. But this combobox gets instantiated about 30 times, once for each row/column in the grid. How can I get a unique array for each instance?

Yes, it's legal, ecxept that you have to use real name of the container (I assume, Container1 and legal name of the array property, say, myArray). Now, assuming you want to assign the first element of all columns first combo array, you may try this:

local loColumn
for each loColumn in this.Columns && This is a grid
         store "fff" to loColumn.Container1.Combo1.myArray[1] && if you would not specify the array index, you'll store  "fff" to all elements of the array
next

Yes, it's possible in both design time (using Form/New Property menu) or in run-time using AddProperty method.

In the class you can use
dimension this.MyArray[5,2] any time you want to redimension this array.
