>>Hi. I make up a form and has a grid on it. I want to change the mouse pointer when my mouse is over the grid control. I already set the property of the grid.mousepointer=1 (arrow) and the grid.column.textbox.mousepointer=1 but still there's no effect the mouse is still crosshair when my mouse is over the grid. I was wondering if there's a way to do it. Thanks.

Thanks for ur reply but my problem now is I can't add a textbox and shape inside the container inside the grid. Also what are the difference between the "containerselected" and "containernormal" that you mentioned above.Thanks again.
