It's not magic, it's just a trick ;)

Just access it assigning the gridview class or use Object.class to use any
property.
Ie.

Dim hGrid As GridView = $control.Proxy
Print hGrid.Row

Or..

Dim hObject As Object = $control.Proxy
Print hObject.Row

If the type could vary you could use Object.Type($control.Proxy) to see
exactly what it is.
