Yves,

Is the issue with determining how to resize the fields so they are as  
tall as the content they have to display? If you just want to resize  
the fields to fit the appropriate height then you can do something  
like the following. Just make sure and turn off fixed control height  
for the data grid.

on LayoutControl pControlRect
     -- set the width of fields if needed...

     -- Now resize to fit height
     put the rect of field 1 of me into theRect
     put item 2 of theRect + \
         the formattedHeight of field 1 of me - the bottomMargin of  
field 1 of me \
         into item 4 of theRect
     set the rect of field 1 of me to theRect
end LayoutControl
