[RESOLVED] VB6 MshFlexGrid select full row problem (even with flexSelectionByRow enabled)

Hello all :wave:

I've been having numerous difficulties with showing a full row on a MSHFlexGrid as being selected. This has come up on several grids i have developed.

I want users to be able to select one record and only one record at any given time. When they click on a record, it should highlight the whole row and not just part of it.

This is a problem of formatting and presentation - it looks awful when the user clicks a row and only part of it goes blue. Sometimes it is only the left-most cell that stays white.
On one grid, when the user uses a keyboard shortcut to activate the grid control, only columns 4 onwards are highlighted on the selected row, even if the user uses the cursor keys to move up and down. Puzzlingly, if a row is selected with the mouse, the full row is highlighted.

The properties of the grids that i have set are:

RowSizingMode - flexRowSizeIndividual
SelectionMode - flexSelectionByRow
Highlight - flexHighlightAlways
Redraw - True
AllowBigSelection - False
FixedRows - varied, no change to results
FixedCols - varied, no change to results

Is there any hard and fast way to ensure that a row clicked on a MSHFlexGrid will be highlighted in its entirety, no matter how many columns or rows it has, by setting any of the above attributes or any other ones?

many thanks

Do you mean this:

VB Code:

Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_Click()
    With MSFlexGrid1
        .Col = 0
        .ColSel = .Cols - 1
    End With
End Sub

Hi Gavio

funnily enough those lines of code worked beautifully on one of my grids but not the other one i tried!!
i'm happy to have at least one grid resolved and can hopefully get more clues from this as to why the other one(s) don't work as well...

thanks :)

take an out of the box MSHFlexGrid.

change:
FocusRect = 0 - flexFocusNone
SelectionMode = 1 - flexSelectionByRow

Yessssss! Result. :D
very happy.
many thanks
