I'm using grid.GetCellValue(row,col) to access the column I'm hiding. That

returns '' as the value (should have been True or False). Is there a better

way?

Let me tell you what I'm doing. I have a column that is changing colors (the

background color of the cell) depending on several data fields in the grid.

At first I was just using the bool value of the cell to support the cell

colors. Then I needed an other value from the row. And now I need a third.

Everything is in the row so I was just using the "GetCellValue" to set the

value.

But now it looks like I need to create a virtual field to handle the issue.

I'm sort of resisting because I already have performance troubles. And of

course adding more work for the bizobj to do sounds like not the way to go.
