Hi!

BTW, some ideas for header you can get from the VFP Grids article in September issue of the UT Magazine (if you did not read it already ;).

>>P.S. I did passed the time such grid developed, so you can ask also for more complex questions. For example, instead of header coloring, put arrow to indicate sorted column and the direction of sorting.

The most simple way is to add it just above the grid control and position it properly above the column header horizontally. However, you will require to modify the grid class for that. Again, read about this in the VFP Grids article - you will find there the events that required to be catched to refresh the positioned control properly (but disregard the complex algorithm of positioning, Cetin did pointed that position of column in pixels is easy to get by ObjToClient() function ;)))

Well, you can position control OVER the header, but this is more complex. This will required to refresh control after each click on grid, refresh of grid etc. - any place that cause grid header redrawing, because grid header draw self above any control on the form. You can also use control window defined by DEFINE WINDOW ... IN WINDOW as the control and put it over the hreader, but forget then about transparensy of the sorting indicator control.

P.P.S. In next VFP Grids article I planned to cover the sorting by header click topic ;))
