Question about MS Flex Grid?

I assumed the ms flex grid worked in the same mannor as the dbgrid control. When I use the dbgrid, I can click on it and type in it.

When I use the ms flex grid. When I click on it, I get get the dotted rectangle aroud it but I cannot type anything into it. Do I have to write code in got focus event or something.

Thanks
BJ

The MS FlexGrid is a ReadOnly Control, to be able to Write to it you will have to write routines to cater for that kind of functionality.

For example, when a Cell is clicked you could position a Text Control over that cell and allow the User to enter text into the Grid via the Textbox Control.

Go to DBGrid. It might be the best of the worst but it does the job and it's free :)

Good Luck.

** T1 is a text box, FG1 is a msflex grid **

Private Sub FG1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Select Case KeyCode
Case 113
Set_TextBox
End Select
End Sub

Private Sub Set_TextBox() 'put textbox over cell
With T1
.Top = FG1.Top + FG1.CellTop
.Left = FG1.Left + FG1.CellLeft
.Width = FG1.CellWidth
.Height = FG1.CellHeight
.Text = FG1
.Visible = True
.SelStart = Len(.Text)
.SetFocus
End With
End Sub
