Editing memo field from grid

VFP 9

I have a top level form with a grid populated by a local view that contains
a memo field. In the startup I set screen visible to False. When I double
click the memo field I'm not able to see the contents.

If I set screen visible to True I can see it.

Is there a way to have the memo field open in an edit window on the form
itself? I'd rather not leave the screen visible.

Thanks.

You're probably going to have to use BindEvents() to trap the double-click
on your memo field and send it to a form method that does something like
MODIFY MEMO (fieldname) IN WINDOW Thisform.Name.
