>>>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.

Don't know exactly what you intend, but my CurrentControl tip is bound to fail for the same reason why setting fontbold fails: It will apply to the WHOLE column. This is what I figured out in my car, rethinking what I wrote. :)
Why are you so inclined to NOT use the Dynamic Properties?
