Is Control a DataGrid

[Pete]

Hi Todd,
If your code might go out into the wild, I think the dgProps["control
type"] property I mentioned might be slightly safer than using the
dgcontrol property, just because it's highly unlikely anyone would have a
dgProps custom property set outside of a datagrid whereas it's not
inconceivable that might have dgcontrol property in the default custom keys
property set.
