Alex: I removed the hbox (I would like to figure out how to center the checkbox, but that is for a different thread).
When I execute the trace statement, I get the name of the module that contains the panel that contains the tab navigatior that contains the canvas that contains the datagrid. What I need is the datagrid itself. Any other ideas?
