David,

Thanks for ur reply but now that i did this i can't access the dblclick event of the textbox inside the grid and i can't use the cursor keys to move around the grid. Thanks again.

>>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.
