Hi Nadya,
I have colums read write and columns read only. I remember when I designed my grid base class that grid.readonly = .t. will set ALL columns to readonly ...

Special problem need special handling. There is no all-good solution. Sic.

BTW what means incremental search in a grid? Do I miss something?

However, all I can manage to do is disable the selected TextBox - if it's at all selectable. Any ideas? Even .ForeColor and .BackColor only seem to apply to the currently selected control.
