When Opening the Interface of a control for editing, should I expect to be able to select the part of the control I want to edit to be selected by the combo box at the top?

e.g. I opened the grid for editing (The Header) and nothing is changed when I make a selection via the combo.

No, and in some cases with composite controls, you may not be able to use
the "quick access to interface" button to get to certain interfaces.  I need
to add some more code to the UI layer to allow controls to "self-report"
which interfaces should be opened when that button is pressed.

Yeah, you'll need to manually open that via File/Open Interface, and then
select the TGridHeader* interfaces.  There are 3 (normal, ascending, and
descending).  You can also open interfaces from the code editor by
positioning on their {$INTERFACE xxxx} include and hitting Ctrl-Enter, just
like with a unit.  So, if you've got the WebGrids unit open so that you can
check it out, you can do it from there also.
