>Hi Ed,
>how can i do this programmaticaly for each column ?

Create a class such as Nancy's AddNewTextBox class from here example, and then step through the Columns one at a time. Remove the default textbox from the column using RemoveObject, and then add a new instance of the AddNewTextBox class to the column, naming it 'text1'. Once the object has been added, assign the name of the new textbox, 'text1' to the column's ActiveControl property. Do this for each column (you can use a FOR EACH loop of a FOR NEXT loop as you see fit, and as fits your programming style. If you don't want to add textboxes, you can create subclasses of other types of controls with similar keypress actions, and drop in those subclasses instead. this must be done programmatically for each column; there is no way in the existing product to tell it to automatically use a different class from the native base textbox class when the grid self-creates.

Work through Nancy's code carefully, trying to see what you would need to do to add an additional column to her suggestion. Cetin's FoxyClasses has the functionality to do what you want more easily, but it is a commercial product and you'd need to buy it. Another option would be to hire a consultant to do the work for you; I don't know what rates for consultants are like where you are, but typically, VFP consultants in the US are paid anywhere from $30/hr for complete beginners, to, in some cases, in excess of $200/hr for world-class experts.
