Can I write in a FlexGrid?

The question is: can I use a FlexGrid (or any of the similar objects) as an Excel spreadsheet to wite data in the cells?

I only can use it to fill the cells by programming routines, not as a keyboard entry.

There is no direct way to do this but, have a look at the following, it may help :)

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
' to store the row/column of the cell
' being edited
Dim m_lCellCol As Long
Dim m_lCellRow As Long
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
  m_lCellRow = -1
  m_lCellCol = -1
  txtCell.BorderStyle = 0
  txtCell.Visible = False
  ' set the text background color to the
  ' backcolor of the tooltip text to make
  ' the cell being edited having a different color
  txtCell.BackColor = vbInfoBackground
  MSFlexGrid1.Cols = 10
  MSFlexGrid1.Rows = 10
End Sub
 
Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_DblClick()
  showTxtCell
End Sub
 
Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_RowColChange()
  removeTxtCell
End Sub
 
Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_Scroll()
  removeTxtCell
End Sub
 
Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_SelChange()
  removeTxtCell
End Sub
 
Private Sub txtCell_Change()
  MSFlexGrid1.Text = txtCell.Text
End Sub
 
Private Sub showTxtCell()
  If m_lCellRow = -1 Then
    With MSFlexGrid1
      ' store the current row and column
      m_lCellRow = .Row
      m_lCellCol = .Col
      ' move the textbox to the correct cell
      txtCell.Move .Left + .CellLeft, .Top + .CellTop, .CellWidth, .CellHeight
      txtCell.Text = .Text
      ' select all text
      txtCell.SelLength = Len(.Text)
    End With
    txtCell.Visible = True
    txtCell.SetFocus
  End If
End Sub
 
Private Sub removeTxtCell()
  If m_lCellRow <> -1 Then
    MSFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(m_lCellRow, m_lCellCol) = txtCell.Text
    m_lCellRow = -1
    m_lCellCol = -1
    txtCell.Visible = False
  End If
End Sub
 
Private Sub txtCell_Validate(Cancel As Boolean)
  removeTxtCell
End Sub

For this you will need to add a Textbox control called: txtCell also :)

Not writtne by me...
