>Grid works with controls in columns personally without using properties of control in most cases. The properties of control inside of the column has effect only when control is focused for editing. Also, when grid draws self, it alway force drawing of the control no matter what its state is. Becuse control with Visible =.F. could not b focused, any attempt to click on it will cause nothing. In other words, you just see the image of the control drawn by grid control, but not the control itself.
