>I create a grid on a form and it's much easier for me to set properties of the grid in it's INIT method rather than in the grid property window on the form itself.
>So I put some values for this.recordsource, this.columncount,
>this.column1.header1.caption, this.column1.controlsource, this.column1.inputmask etc. in the grid INIT method and it works fine and what is important for me, it's easily looked over all columns at one place.
>The problem is only when I want to put some code on the column methods, like this.column1.text1.valid because it's not as easy as set the column properties.
