Text in Top/Left Cell

I''m trying to place text in the top/left cell of a standard grid control, but it doesn''t seem to work. What is wrong with the following : private Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridControl gridCtl; // top/left cell to be a "select all" gridCtl[0,0].Text = "All";

I think the code is OK. Here is a sample showing it working. http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/user/uploads/GC_TopTeft_4d90b91c.zip You might check if the cell has been set to ReadOnly. Or, maybe you are handling an event like QueryCellInfo or PrepareViewStyleInfo that may be stepping of the previously set value.
