Jonathan,

Best is to (1) Subclass the header, (2) in the grid.init() replace the standard headers with your header (copy all properties from the old header to the new one like font, caption, ...)

The most flexible is to 'forward' the header.Click()/Mousedown/Mouseup/.. to the grid. ie add methods to your grid class like Header_MouseUp, ...

Your grid base class can have a standard way of reacting. In addition, each grid can override the header clicks

eg

&& header
procedure MouseDown
LPARAMETERS nButton, nShift, nXCoord, nYCoord

	do case
	case (nButton == BUTTON_RIGHT )
		NODEFAULT
		=this.Parent.Parent.Click_Right_Header(this.Parent) && call grid method passing column object
        ...
        endcase
endproc
