Hello,

I have to add a checkbox to the grid control.

There is a status field in database. If status is '1', I want to display the check box checked in the grid control. If it is 0, I want the check box to be un-checked.

Can some one tell me how to do that?

Thank you!

If you bind your data to the grid, doesn't it add the checkbox for you?

Thanks for the reply. This is what I was doing.

I am binding the grid control to the recordset manually using
set dbgrid.datasource=oRs.datasource
only '1' and '0' are dipalying in my grid. Instead I want to dispaly checked and unchecked check boxes in the grid at ruin time.

Thank you!

Can a datagrid do that?
I didn't think it could...:confused:
Mind you I hardly use it as it's crap...

U could use a listView and then assign an image to a ListSubItem...that would be able to add ticks for you...

Or, even better, S-Grid from www.vbAccelerator.com...now that will do everything you could possible want...:D

It was asked in an exam

Thanks for the reply.

I don't know if it is possible to show a check box in the grid or not. I had attend an exam for an interview. They have given this creteria, showing the check box in the grid control.

I was not sure how to do that.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Can it be possible without using the third party control?

Thanks!

Completely depends on what grid you use...
And even then, you could still subclass it and manually add a tick.
If I took a basic VB exam I would fail!
I know minimal amounts about databound controls, MS flexgrid and stuff like that :(
Ask me a question on a large n-teir business critical MES system using a server app which utilises TCP/IP, and I could probably answer 99% of the questions...but the basics....no chance :(

:D

With a listview you would set the icon property of a ListSubItem, where the icon would be a tick.
With a VS Flex Grid Pro, you would set the value of the cell to True, that would produce a tick.
Each grid control is VERY different...
