Timothy,

Mark's suggestion would work, if you design your grid in design-time. If you do it in code, you have to create a Header class and add it to the grid programmaticaly. Check FAQ section for Mike Helland's FAQ: How to add methods to the grid created in run-time (something like that).

>no what I mean is, do I have to add an object, like a label, onto the top of the grid and modify it's event? Or is there somewhere on the actual grid that I can do this?

>>You mean the header that has a caption for the column? With respect to users being able to figure out what to click to change the sort order in the grid?
>>
>>To help my users, I make the header caption forecolor RED for the currently sorted column. If the caption color is BLUE, it means they can click that to change the order to that column. A BLACK header is default and does no action.

>>>That's what I figured but can you actually discern the header from the rest of the grid? It seems as if it were all 1 unit?

>>>>For a grid, what I do is put code to change the sort order in the Click method of the grid headers.

>>>>>>>I see the standard way to sort a list in standard apps is to click on the column's title bar. Is that done with a grid in vfp. Can it be enabled with the browse window?

>>>>>>Grids are the VFP way [and IMO better way] of providing browse functionality to your users. I do not know of a way to do what you want using a regular browse window except by using OKLs. A browse window has no PEMs.
