Hi Walter,

I'm not belittling anyone. I understand Fabio's concerns. As to the grid, please email me at jkoziol@microsoft.com with your issues and I promise you they'll get fair hearing.

>I enssentailly agree with fabio: There are many problems with the VFP grid. As Fabio mentioned the Afterrowcol change not fireing when a THISFORM.Refresh is issued somewhere in the BeforeRowcolchange is really giving me nightmares.
>
>Also the bugs that come with invisible columns and frozen columns don't make me happy. I sincerely hope the VFPT is going to address those in VFP9.
>
>And why you cannot change the columnorder when some left columns are frozen is beyond me. I've got a hard time explaining to clients: "This is a VFP bug" or "This is a VFP limitation".
>
>I hope you take the effort to listen to fabio what he has to tell in stead of just belittle him because he is fairly new up here. From the comments I've seen him make up here he's got a lot more real world VFP experience than many so called "experts" up here.

>>I think the main problem is you're trying to get the product to work the way you think it should and not the way it actually does. Probably, everything you are trying to do can be accomplished by subclassing controls within the Grid, my Container suggestion, et al. Try harder, Fabio.
