Yes, that is what I meant.

Well, I did put it into the Data event, and using .Data.Text = "hello" 
runs. Using RichText does not.

Do you remember the thread I started some two weeks ago, when I found 
that RichText showed pure text but would show nothing if I used 
<center></center>? That was on my laptop, newer system, now I am on my 
office system, maybe that is why. (Gambas is the same, 3.9.2)

Anyway, I have made so many bad experiences with RichText in the 
GridView that I thought about other ways of implementing this.
