grid question about pointer to crosshairs

[johnM]

When the dialog box first appears you can move the mouse across the form and when the mouse is on the form it becomes a pointer. When you move onto the acad screen it becomes crosshairs.
When you click any button and move to the acad screen the mouse becomes crosshairs.
Once  you click on the grid and move the mouse to the acad screen the mouse is a pointer until you click twice or hit escape a couple of times.

Even if you click on the grid at the end where no column has been added (so no events are being fired)
The mouse remains a pointer on the acad screen.

Also once you click on the grid then click any button except the spinner button and move the mouse to the acad screen it becomes crosshairs.
If you click on the grid then click the spinner button then move the mouse to the acad screen it is a pointer.

Hello, you have to switch the form's KeepFocus property at runtime.
