grid focus

If grids have a setfocus method, why don't they have gotfocus and lostfocus
events?

I suspect it's because the grid itself does not really receive the
focus - rather the controls contained in the grid (textboxes, etc.)

But I want a lost focus event! I really don't care which control within the
grid has the focus, and I don't want to track them all.

So subclass the control types you use in grids to call a grid
method when the control is going to lose focus.

What do you want to do in a grid lostfocus?

can you just use grid.valid() and grid.when().

Note that grid.valid() fires before grid.column.textbox.valid().
