    Resolved [RESOLVED] MsFlexGrid Select Only 1 row at time.

    I am using a MSFlexGrid. Is there a quick and easy way to stop the user selecting more than one row at a time. I want the user to only be allowed to select one row.

    Thanks

    Hello ganeshmoorthy

    unfortunately that is what I have already set. You still can select more than one row by dragging the mouse or using the shift key.

    Is there anyway to disable this.

    HI

    If you right click the grid and select propertys or in propertyscreen(F4) you have the custom property
    there you see

    if you set the checkbox off where it says Allowbigselecion
    and the selectionmode would help if you set it by Row

    Re: MsFlexGrid Select Only 1 row at time.

    Thanks again, setting the property MergeCells =2-RestrictRows does, sort of work. The only problem I have now is that the row the user clicks on isn't highlighted.

    Re: MsFlexGrid Select Only 1 row at time.

    It doesn't look like anything is getting highlighted.

    I have written a small procedure on the click event that highlights the row selected. Just seems a lot of work.

    Oh well.

    Had AllowBigSelection set to false and SelectionByRow, it didn't work, still allowed the user to select more than one row by dragging the mouse or using the shift key.


    Thanks

    Re: MsFlexGrid Select Only 1 row at time.

    no matter what happens when you drag your cursor and highlight a lot of cells or rows, it is only the highlight that does it but in the selection sense, only one record will be selected. i'm sure of this,

    the problem with this truth is that the user can be confused with the number of rows he selected

    i have a proposal or shall we say, a suggestion for Kev, if you really want to select only a single row at a time, try to use listview

    i know it very much that it is posible with listview coz thats the way all my applications work. try it and youll see your desired result.

    i for myself will conclude that theres no way you can restrict the user to be able to highlight a single row only with msflexgrid. i dont know with the others, i would be glad if somebody could correct me if theres a way,

    Re: MsFlexGrid Select Only 1 row at time.

    I have it working so that only one row is selected. The only way I could do it was as ganeshmoorthy suggested and then on the click event I manually highlighted the through VB Code as below.

    Code:
    Private Sub grdEstimatesFound_Click()
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim j As Integer
        Dim intRow As Integer
        
        With grdEstimatesFound
            intRow = .Row
            
            For j = 1 To .Rows - 1
                .Row = j
                If j = intRow Then
                    For i = 0 To .Cols - 1
                        .Col = i
                        .CellBackColor = vbHighlight
                        .CellForeColor = vbWhite
                    Next i
                Else
                    For i = 0 To .Cols - 1
                        .Col = i
                        .CellBackColor = vbWhite
                        .CellForeColor = vbBlack
                    Next i
                End If
            Next j
            
            .Row = intRow
        End With
        
        DoEvents
                
    End Sub
    That is the only way I could do it.

    Re: [RESOLVED] MsFlexGrid Select Only 1 row at time.

    This is what I use

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
    2.     If Button = vbLeftButton Then
    3.         'Turns off the automatic Highlighting and colors the current row's
    4.         'background with the highlight color
    5.         With Me.MSFlexGrid1
    6.             .Redraw = False
    7.             .FillStyle = flexFillRepeat
    8.             .RowSel = .Row
    9.             .ColSel = .Cols - 1
    10.             .CellBackColor = .BackColorSel
    11.             .HighLight = flexHighlightNever
    12.             .FillStyle = flexFillRepeat
    13.             .Redraw = True
    14.         End With
    15.     End If
    16. End Sub
    17.  
    18. Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
    19.     If Button = vbLeftButton Then
    20.         'Turns ON automatic Highlighting and resets the current row's
    21.         'background color to the default
    22.         With Me.MSFlexGrid1
    23.             .Redraw = False
    24.             .FillStyle = flexFillRepeat
    25.             .RowSel = .Row
    26.             .ColSel = .Cols - 1
    27.             .CellBackColor = .BackColor
    28.             .HighLight = flexHighlightAlways
    29.             .Redraw = True
    30.         End With
    31.     End If
    32. End Sub
    33.  
    34. Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_SelChange()
    35.     MSFlexGrid1.RowSel = MSFlexGrid1.Row
    36. End Sub
    37.  
    38. Private Sub Form_Load()
    39.     With MSFlexGrid1
    40.         .AllowBigSelection = False
    41.         .AllowUserResizing = flexResizeColumns
    42.         .Cols = 5
    43.         .Rows = 10
    44.         .SelectionMode = flexSelectionByRow
    45.         .FocusRect = flexFocusNone
    46.     End With
    47. End Sub

    This also works

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    2.     If Button = vbLeftButton Then
    3.         MSFlexGrid1.Redraw = False
    4.     End If
    5. End Sub
    6.  
    7. Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    8.     If Button = vbLeftButton Then
    9.         MSFlexGrid1.Redraw = True
    10.     End If
    11. End Sub
    12.  
    13. Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_SelChange()
    14.     MSFlexGrid1.RowSel = MSFlexGrid1.Row
    15. End Sub
