>I am using the container to prevent users from changing information on screen. Since I had different type editboxes,grids,combos,checkboxes (this one always look funny when enable .f.) etc... I decided to use container to prevent users from entering these objects and changing stuff. Could have used setall command to enable but this was easier.

There's an old trick, which was used for other things few years ago: a transparent shape over the grid. The grid is visible, but the shape eats the mouse clicks.
