Under the "HeaderClass" help article it says...

"The HeaderClass property is used instead of MemberClass for a Column parent container. For more information about the MemberClass property, see MemberClass Property."

Using the code below with the class def shown further below, when I set the MemberClass and MemberclassLibrary to the custom column class, the columns do not instantiate and error saying that the object is of "wrong type"

Form's init...

thisform.grid1.MemberClass='kr_column'
thisform.grid1.MemberClassLibrary='test.prg'
thisform.grid1.columncount=3

(Note:Form set to private data session and no table open in DE)

>>I am having trouble instantiating a non-visual custom column class. The docs say to use the HeaderClass (and not the grid's MemberClass) property for custom columns but does show an example. (I don't understand why you wouldn't use the grid's Memberclass, since the only child members in a grid are columns) Can someone pls show me an example?
