Hi Marica

>The problem is that when you dblClick on a row in the grid that has data, it is the contained control's (the textbox) dblClick that fires. The only time the grid's dblClick fires is when you click on a row that does not have data.

Beat the idea of finding out which row has been double-clicked <g>

I liked Gregory's idea of putting the above code into the class I have for the columns textbox, which is luckily subclassed.

Thanks for your help.
