Microsoft distributes the GRID control as an enhancement to Visual Basic in 
the Professional Toolkit.  It is a very useful control!

Question: how can the character attributes of forecolor and fontsize be set 
on a CELL BY CELL basis? 

It is easy to give the entire grid these attributes.  However, I can't find 
a way to adjust the attributes on a cell basis.  For example, all numbers 
appearing in column 1 should be in black unless they are negative in which 
case they should appear in red.  Or, every 5th row should be printed in a 
bold-face font, other rows printed in a normal font.


Can anyone suggest a way of doing this?
