Wish what? Dynamically adjustable row height in case there's an editbox (pretty much like StretchWithOverflow works on reports), or the thing which would come first - a CurrentRowHeightSource property for the grid?

The code to dynamically adjust height of an editbox wouldn't be too hard to write - just do a lot of text metric in the keypress() and adjust .height (OK, it would be hard to make it work right, specially if editbox allows tabs), and then this.parent.parent.rowheight=this.height. But if we want to have Excel-like grids, then we should have a way to have different row heights.
