Paul, datagrids are using virtual properties, so you can't lock the messages.
tooltip, sorttype, and editability have only an effect if one interact with the datagrid. I do not think this is your issue. Plus, I ran in a similar problem when I updated DGH 2.5 with column color capabilities. One of my problem was with column width refreshisment. sortdirection will have importance only if the datagrid is sorted by one of the column and if your datagrid data is not empty. In this case you can set the sorted column to empy prior to create / refresh the columns. A last advice: create the datagrid columns and then filled in them with the data.
