Hey Mike - thanks for all your help on this topic. In the end, I will have to admit - I tossed out using a Sub-classed Grid. My manager, she was getting a bit worried about me implementing this in the system I was working on. Worried that things could go wrong with it in production. As folks mentioned here - my VFP is like 3 Hotfixes behind. But, they were not about to apply any of those hotfixes - for fear of breaking things. And, she felt that since the Classes stuff in VFP was the "Newer" type of tech. in VFP - put in later and at a time after M$ was already planning to Kill VFP. As such - she was wary.
Also, I was having problems implementing stuff - and that's why I was trying to use that BindEvent(). So - in the end - I used a Little bit of code & techniques from that Foxite code - but, applied it only to a regular Grid. And, there is no using of Shift-Click to select groups of records. Its simply implemented that if you click a record - its selected and highlighted. And, to select more records - you simply click on more records. That's it. Its basically working now - except one of the QA guys here is testing it for me - and he's testing on a Win10 machine - and the one of the two grids - upon selecting the record - the record gets blanked out - like its White on White. But, strangely - only on the one grid. Am still trying to fix that issue - then I will be done with this part of the project...

Usually this is my data requery event (handtyped for this email): [thisform.GetRecords method] local liCnt as integer if vartype(this.grd) = "O" then this.grd.SaveSource() endif liCnt = this.obiz.MyRoutineThatGetsTheData() if vartype(this.grd) = "O" then this.grd.RestoreSource() endif That takes care of only running grid code when it's present.
