Ashley,

You basically can't add code to an object at runtime. So what you need to do is create a textbox subclass that knows how to handle your rightclick. Then at runtime substitute that subclass for the textbox that is there.

In the same loop you use to alter the ControlSource, change the textbox object like this:

for each oCol in this.Columns
   oCol.AddObject( "text2", "MySmartClass" )
   * this next WITH is optional
   with oCol.Text2
      * copy any formatting kind of info if not default
      .FontName = oCol.Text1.FontName
   endwith
   oCol.RemoveObject( "Text1" ) && get rid of original
   oCol.ControlSource = ...
endfor

>I have a table with 216 fields, 210 of which I would like to display in cells partially (substr function). Next I would like to attach a rightclick event showing d=greater detail in an information window.
>Due to the number of fields involved, I used a for...next loop in the init event of the form to set the ControlSource of each column - and this worked.
>I would like to go on to set the rightclick event (and others) except I don't know how to do this.
>I am having trouble finding concrete examples of how to set events for an object using code. I guess I'm trying to get the most convenient mix of visual design and code and am having little joy using trial and error methodology!
