A good way to do it is with InfoPower from Woll2Woll software. They
have a DBGrid descendant that can have the headers turned into buttons
by setting a property. If you are interested, their URL is
www.woll2woll.com.

Steve:

First of all, thanks for your help, but i'm not sure i explained very well
what i'm trying to do. I want to put an ellipsis button in a column of a
DBGrid, but not in the column header, but rather to the right of the normal
cell editor. I want to use the ellipsis button to bring up forms containing
more detailed views of the data in the column. For example, in a table that
displays summaries of invoices, you could set up an ellipsis button in the
invoice total column to bring up a form that displays the items in that
invoice, or the tax calculation method, and so on.
In Delphi 3 i just have to select the column in the Columns list box, set the
button style to cbsEllipsis and write the OnEditButtonClick event handler,
but in Delphi 1 this can't be done.
Further help will be appreciated.

Thanks again,,
René Ibarra
