[RESOLVED] Flexgrid search/Add to new flexgrid

Last part of my problem...I have this search function that searches through a flexgrid I have on my interface, and it works great...now what I need to do is bring each record that is found into a separate flexgrid with the same properties as the parent flexgrid, with just the records that were found...
any suggestions?


This is my search function:

VB Code:

Sub Search()
    Dim target_name As String, sResult As String
    Dim r As Integer, c As Integer, sResultArray() As String, sra As Integer
    
    target_name = UCase$(InputBox("Letter", "Letter"))
    If Len(target_name) = 0 Then Exit Sub
    
    With grd
        .Redraw = False
        .FillStyle = flexFillRepeat
        .Col = 1: .Row = 1
        .ColSel = .Cols - 1
        .RowSel = .Rows - 1
        .CellBackColor = vbWhite
        
        For r = 0 To .Rows - 1
            For c = 1 To .Cols - 1
                If .TextMatrix(r, c) Like target_name & "*" Then Exit For
            Next c
            If c < .Cols Then
                For c = 1 To .Cols - 1
                    sResult = sResult & vbTab & .TextMatrix(r, c)
                Next c
 
                sResult = vbNullString
            End If
        Next r
        .Col = 0: .Row = 0
        .Redraw = True
    End With
    
    MsgBox "Finished!"
    
    
    
End Sub

is the problem that you can't transfer the records? cos i told you how to do that before:

VB Code:

MSFlexGrid1.AddItem sResult

or is it that you need to create a duplicate of the FlexGrid (stylistically)?

That only added the first column, and not any of the supplementary records...I'm thinking some sort of a split is necessary and a cycle through an array for each row...?

I need to create a whole new flexgrid from the original flexgrid...with only the selected records being brought over...

that only showed the first column, because you probably only had one column in the target grid. you'll need to set the right number of cols and rows and copy all the headers over.

it might be easier for you just to 'hide' the rows that didn't match:

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim target_name As String, sResult As String
    Dim r As Integer, c As Integer
    
    target_name = InputBox("Name", "Name")
    If Len(target_name) = 0 Then Exit Sub
    
    With MSFlexGrid1
        .Redraw = False
        .FillStyle = flexFillRepeat
        .Col = 1: .Row = 1
        .ColSel = .Cols - 1
        .RowSel = .Rows - 1
        .CellBackColor = vbWhite
        .Col = 0: .Row = 0
        
        .RowHeight(-1) = .RowHeight(0)
        For r = 1 To .Rows - 1
            For c = 1 To .Cols - 1
                If .TextMatrix(r, c) Like target_name & "*" Then Exit For
            Next c
            If c = .Cols Then .RowHeight(r) = 0
        Next r
        .Redraw = True
    End With
End Sub

Works great, thanks!!! :thumb:
