>>For the columns where the current control is simple, this works. However, the textbox permanently have .fontbold=.f. and I don't really know how to make this happen (short of evaluating the DynamicFontBold expression of the column, which I expect may be slow). [update: it actually doesn't work, as I have to set it in the refresh of the container, and so it works only for the current row's container]

>First I imagined that if you don't use DynamicFontBold, that DynamicFontBold will be False all the time and dynamically set the font to non-bold all the time, no matter what you do elsewhere. After some experimenting I now think that DynamicFontBold is not tested if not specified (hence the REAL default (None), which by the way is not documented).
>This opens the way to setting the fontbold in another way, but everything that I tried would only influence the fontbold of the WHOLE column. Perhaps you can define a Text2, set its fontbold to True and then influence CurrentControl.

This just gave me the idea... the container doesn't have any font properties, which is why the dynamicfont* doesn't apply to it. I'll try to add the .FontBold property to the container and see what happens.
