Hi Again,

This is weird. The sparse property seems to be ignored.

There are a couple of workarounds that I can think of.

1. You would have to code the MouseOver/MouseMove event and set the MousePOinter and MouseIcon for the Grid, COlumn etc
2. You could put a transparent shape on the grid to cover the column... but this would be complicated to code especially if the grid is editable.

Should I place some code in the mouseOver Event as well?
