Hi Fred

Column and Header are available as .prg baseed class only. ::(
The problem with the Class property depends on my changed Name property. If I change or delete the definition of Name, Class property is correct. Within a .vcx based class, the change of Name is disabled, so Class must be correct.


The Main problem is to get a column named like if no Memberclass is used. If you create a column with out Memberclass you get Column1 as Name. If you Create with Memberclass MyCol you get MyCol1 as Name. Some (strange old ugly) code relies on the use of Columnn so I need to keep the name.

But for now this for philosophical use only. I've stopped the use of memberclass for my grids and add the columns and headers using NewObject as I have done in versions prior 8.0. This gives me the control I need and all the props are as suspected.

Thank you for your help
Agnes
