How do I make a MsFlexgrid toroidal?

[Hugh]

Does anyone have any ideas on how I make a flex grid "wrap around" (so that left column cells are considered adjacent to right column etc...)

Class assignment - I have to code the Game of Life using a grid control, but I can't figure this out. Thanks for any help you can give!

Get hold of Apex's TrueDBGrid - if it's just for an assignment the 30 day demo version available at www.apexsc.com will do.
With this grid control you can set AllowArrows=TRUE (this may even work on the FlexGrid, I'm not sure) and this will let you do what you want to do.
Also, the TrueDBGrid can be bound to an Array-type object called an X-Array which would make your game of life a lot easier to sort out.

Here is a small subroutine that does part of the work for you. You pass it the data and the column and row where it goes. If the column or row is too large, it wraps. You would need to write the code to do similar stuff if the row and/or column where < 0.

Public Sub AddData(nRow As Integer, nColumn As Integer, sText As String)

    If nColumn > MSFlexGrid1.Cols - 1 Then
        nRow = nRow + 1
        nColumn = 0
    End If
    
    If nRow > MSFlexGrid1.Rows - 1 Then
        nRow = 0
    End If
    
    MSFlexGrid1.Col = nColumn
    MSFlexGrid1.Row = nRow
    MSFlexGrid1.Text = sText
    
End Sub
