    MSHFlexGrid Not Merging Cells Properly

    Hey Guys,

    Would somebody help and tell what is wrong with my code bellow, it should merge the cells with the same value?

    vb Code:
    1. Private Sub sub_AddMovie(p_ID, p_Poster, p_Year, p_Title, p_Rating, p_Info)
    2.  
    3.     With fxg_Tomatoes 'MSHFlexGrid
    4.         For vm_Row = 0 To 3 ' WILL ADD 4 NEW ROWS
    5.             .AddItem ""
    6.        
    7.             vm_CurrentRow = .Rows - 1    
    8.             .Row = vm_CurrentRow
    9.             .col = 0        ' COL 0 HOLDS POSTER PICTURE
    10.             .Text = p_ID    ' CELL MUST HAVE A VALUE TO MERGE
    11.             Set .CellPicture = LoadPicture(p_Poster)
    12.            
    13.             .MergeRow(vm_CurrentRow) = True
    14.             .MergeCol(0) = True
    15.             .MergeCol(1) = True
    16.             .MergeCol(2) = True
    17.             .MergeCol(3) = True
    18.            
    19.             Select Case vm_Row
    20.                     Case 0, 1, 2
    21.                         For t = 1 To 3  ' SHOULD MERGE CELLS W SAME VALUES TO MAKE IT ONE LINE (ROW)
    22.                             .col = t
    23.                             .Text = p_Title
    24.                             .CellAlignment = 4
    25.                         Next t
    26.                        
    27.                     Case 3
    28.                         .col = 1
    29.                         .Text = p_Year
    30.                         .CellFontSize = 10
    31.                         .CellAlignment = 4
    32.                        
    33.                         .col = 2
    34.                         .Text = p_Rating
    35.                         .CellFontSize = 10
    36.                         .CellAlignment = 4
    37.                        
    38.                         .col = 3
    39.                         .Text = p_Info
    40.                         .CellFontSize = 10
    41.                         .CellAlignment = 0
    42.             End Select
    43.             DoEvents
    44.         Next vm_Row
    45.         .Refresh
    46.     End With
    47. End Sub

    This is the result:


    I expected to the three cells with text = "Cocoon" to be merged into one cell.

    I've tried changing the the call to .MergeRow(x) and .MergeCol(x) to before changing its values and to after it.. with no effect.

    The .MergeCells property = 1 (free)

    Any help will be welcomed,

    Thanks in advance,
    MBS.

    Re: MSHFlexGrid Not Merging Cells Properly

    Is it more complex than this?
    Code:
    Private Sub Form_Load()
      With MSHFlexGrid1
        .Cols = 4
        .Rows = 8
        .FixedCols = 0
        .TextMatrix(0, 0) = "Title"
        .TextMatrix(0, 1) = "Column B"
        .TextMatrix(0, 2) = "Column C"
        .TextMatrix(0, 3) = "Column D"
        .TextMatrix(1, 0) = "Cocoon": .TextMatrix(1, 1) = "B1"
        .TextMatrix(2, 0) = "Cocoon": .TextMatrix(2, 1) = "B2"
        .TextMatrix(3, 0) = "Cocoon": .TextMatrix(3, 1) = "B3"
        .MergeCells = flexMergeFree
        .MergeCol(0) = True
      End With
    End Sub
    
    ' Variant with same title in Columns:
    Private Sub Form_Load()
      With MSHFlexGrid1
        .Cols = 4
        .Rows = 8
        .FixedCols = 0
        .TextMatrix(0, 0) = "Title A"
        .TextMatrix(0, 1) = "Title B"
        .TextMatrix(0, 2) = "Title C"
        .TextMatrix(0, 3) = "Column D"
        .TextMatrix(1, 0) = "Cocoon"
        .TextMatrix(1, 1) = "Cocoon"
        .TextMatrix(1, 2) = "Cocoon"
        .MergeCells = flexMergeFree
        .MergeRow(1) = True
      End With
    End Sub
    Unless you want to merge multiple columns and rows at the same time.
    It's either merging the rows OR merging the columns, not both to create a multi spanned cell.

    Re: MSHFlexGrid Not Merging Cells Properly

    Hey Arnoutdv, thank you very much for your help. It's the very first time that I'm taking a go with the FlexGrid, so excuse my silliness, but...

    A: Actually yes, it's a little more complex than that, The col(0) that holds the picture is working fine, if I remove the .MergeCol(0) = True it won't merge. Why the same does not apply to the other cols? with or wthout .MergeCol(x) = True it is not merging.

    Unless you want to merge multiple columns and rows at the same time.
    A: Yes that is exactly what I want to do! (sorry if my original post is not clear on that.

    It's either merging the rows OR merging the columns, not both to create a multi spanned cell.
    A: I'm trying this thing based on the MSDN Documentation: Here

    Where it states: Set the MergeRow and MergeCol array properties to True for the rows and columns to be merged.

    Also, if you go to the their sample: Here

    You will find:

    What is exactly what I'm trying to do.

    If I only use the .MergeRow(x) (as per MSDN example) my FlexGrid does not looks like I want, so back to my original question:
    What is wrong with my code?


    Thanks so much again mate.

    @ MBS,

    you can try if you want my VBFlexGrid control which replaces 100% MSFlexGrid control and most of MSHFlexGrid.
    http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...xGrid-control)

    One of the many points fixed and improved is:
    Code:
    - MergeCells can span multiple rows and columns together. (limitation or bug in MSFlexGrid and MSHFlexGrid)

    Hi MBS,

    you are making this to difficult, here a sample with just loading a PIVOT Query
    to a FlexGrid.
    take a look at the querys I created in the Database, just change/add values
    here a Image of a Query and shown in the Flexgrid

    The sample image only has merged cells in the columns, not in the rows.
    I can not test your code because I have no data to fill it with.

    And I never tested to merge cells with pictures in them.

    Can you post an image what your current grid looks like?

    Re: MSHFlexGrid Not Merging Cells Properly

    Thanks for your replies guys, but I gave up, in less than 10min I've created an user control (with imagebox, labels and frames) which does the job better than this.

    I did that (above) before reading your post, now I’m 100% sure I’ve made the right decision.
