> One way you could try to do this is to derive a custom columnstyle. In your derived class, override GetColumnValueAtRow and Commit. In the get override, call the baseclass, and then depending upon whether the value is F, etc, change it to your long name. In your commit override, change the long name to your short name before calling the baseclass.
