Thanks for the explanation. I now tried to use a class and use a 
static opIndex. But it seems from a static method you also cannot 
access the attributes of a outer class :)

class TCustomGrid: TCustomPresentedScrollBox
{	
	class ColumnsArray
	{
		static TColumn opIndex(int index)
		{
			// Reference is defined in TCustomGrid via inheritene
			int r = getIntegerIndexedPropertyReference(reference, 
"Columns", index);
			return new TColumn(r);
		}
	}
	
	alias Columns = ColumnsArray;
...
}

This seems like an unnecessary limitation...

Kind regards
André
