The top gridline offset is now absent with the same code. I don't know why.

Krool, please help me to understand what do theese properties mean:

1. GetGridLineOffsets:
Left = 0
Top = 0 (I have no offset now, but I had 1px offset on my previous screenshot).
Right = 15 (1px)
Bottom = 15 (1px)

2. ComboButtonNonClientWidth and ComboButtonNonClientHeight = 90 (6px). Where are they? I see only two pixels on the right and two pixels on the left of the picture.

3. ComboButtonClientWidth = 195 (13px). My icon has 32px width. What is 13px?

1.
Top 0 is correct. A cell has 2 grid border lines. It appears as a square border as the neighbor cell draws the other 2.

2.
6px is correct. 3 left and 3 right. It's non-client.

3.
If you have a larger icon then change ComboButtonWidth (Let).

Ok, I had to repost my previous screenshot. The top offset is NOT absent here (it is 1px). How could it happen? How can I change this?

The red square is my icon's area . I see only two pixels on the right and two pixels on the left of the picture. Do you mean that 1px offset near the right border is non-client area too?

You changed the grid line compared to previous screenshot. If you have FixGridLineOffsets to False (default) it's offsets are the same as in MSFlexGrid.

Yes, 1 px nearby is non-client as well. I don't dream these px. It's coming from an API how MS actually draws it.

Update released.

Included the MimicTextBox and ColMimicTextBox/ColMimicTextBoxFixed property. (Defaults to False)
DT_EDITCONTROL will mimic the text-displaying characteristics of a multiline text box. This includes to break on characters instead on words.
This is only meaningful if the word wrap property is set to true.
The main benefit is to have no drawing difference anymore when editing a cell.

The OCX VBFLXGRD17 was also updated. The internal type lib version is now 1.8.

Code:

---

Object={2DA70529-3366-414A-B408-46083BCD481B}#1.8#0; VBFLXGRD17.OCX

A brief description of the properties that return the dimensions of the ComboButton.

https://www.vbforums.com/images/ieimages/2024/03/26.png GridLines = FlexGridLineInset (2px grid)

https://www.vbforums.com/images/ieimages/2024/03/27.png GridLines = FlexGridLineFlat (1px grid)

The Legend and corresponding VBFlexGrid properties:

RH = RowHeight = 20px * 15 = 300 twips.
NCH = ComboButtonNonClientHeight = (3px+3px) * 15 = 90 twips incl. GridLineOffsets.
NCW = ComboButtonNonClientWidth = (3px+3px) * 15 = 90 twips incl. GridLineOffsets.
CW = ComboButtonClientWidth = ComboButtonWidth – ComboButtonNonClientWidth

The parameters returned byf the GetGridLineOffsets method:

• Bottom (the "BO" on the pictures) = 1px * 15 = 15 twips
• Right (the "RO" on the pictures) = 1px * 15 = 15 twips
• Left (not indicated on the pictures) = 0
• Top (not indicated on the pictures) = 0

Hi again!

I can use:

Code:

---

.ColComboMode(.Col) = FlexComboModeDropDown
.ColComboItems(.Col) = "option1|option2|option3|..."

---

And all the column will have a with this options.

But..

Can i put only in one cell a combo ?, not the entire column.
Or can i put a combo in a entire row ? (it will be better to use a cell, but a row can be fine)

Edit:

I found a way (don't know if it's the right one)

Using colcombomode for the column and using then .CellComboCue = FlexComboCueNone on the cells i don't want a combo

Edit2:
No... this way is not working either...

Instead of using the ColComboMode just set the ComboMode/ComboItems upon the BeforeEdit event. There you can control exactly which row/col have what setting.

There are several very useful properties in FarPoint-Spread:

Code:

---

Property Get/Let EditModePermanent As Boolean
Property Get/Let EditModeReplace As Boolean
Property Get/Let EditModeAutomatic As Boolean
Property Get/Let EditEnterAction As EditEnterActionConstants

Public Enum EditEnterActionConstants
    EditEnterActionNone = 0
    EditEnterActionUp = 1
    EditEnterActionDown = 2
    EditEnterActionLeft = 3
    EditEnterActionRight = 4
    EditEnterActionNext = 5
    EditEnterActionPrevious = 6
    EditEnterActionSame = 7
    EditEnterActionNextRow = 8
End Enum

---

When EditModePermanent = True, when we move or click any grid cell, the cell is always in the editing state.

It would be great if VBFlexGrid could also add EditModePermanent property.

Hi Krool,

I've been playing around with the VBFlexGrid package in tB, and noticed any issue that I've also been able to reproduce with the v1.7 OCX in VB6.

Consider the following code for a Form with a unmodified VBFlexGrid dropped on to it:

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
  With Me.VBFlexGrid1
      .Font.Name = "Segoe UI"
 
      .FontFixed.Bold = True
 
      .TextMatrix(0, 0) = "ABCDEF"
      .TextMatrix(1, 1) = "ABCDEF"
  End With
End Sub

---

After running the above, I expected the fixed cells to use a Bold variant of the font, and the non-fixed cells to use the regular/non-Bold font, but the result was that all cells used the Bold variant:

Attachment 191076

Perhaps this is by design, but IMO the result is unexpected/unwanted as the purpose of have 2 separate Font properties would be to have two disconnected fonts that can have their properties set independently.

In any case, I can use .Cell(FlexCellFontBold... to get the behaviour I want, but I thought I'd bring this to your attention in case it is something that needs fixing (again, assuming this isn't by the design and I'm just misunderstanding the purpose of the separate Font properties). Thanks for your time.

Thanks for bringing this up.
But, it's not a bug but a feature. :)
The behavior is the same as in MSHFlexGrid.

You can easily solve this "issue" by doing as following:

Code:

---

With VBFlexGrid1
.Font.Name = "Segoe UI"

Set .FontFixed = New StdFont ' Must be!
.FontFixed.Bold = True

.TextMatrix(0, 0) = "ABCDEF"
.TextMatrix(1, 1) = "ABCDEF"
End With

Ahh, gotcha! I work a fair amount with the Codejock ReportControl and it has separate Font properties for things like headers/footers/etc.. that all act independentl, so that coloured my expectations. Thank you for demonstrating the correct approach when working with VBFlexGrid :)

The EditEnterAction there is something similar, see the DirectionAfterReturn property.

For EditModePermanent. Did you try just as below ?

Code:

---

Private Sub VBFlexGrid1_RowColChange()
VBFlexGrid1.StartEdit
End Sub

---

I've added the following code to mock the EditModePermanent property of Farpoint-Spread:

Code:

---

Private Sub ChkEditModePermanent_Click()
    If ChkEditModePermanent.Value = 1 Then
        VBFlexGrid1.AllowUserEditing = True
        VBFlexGrid1.DirectionAfterReturn = FlexDirectionAfterReturnRight
        VBFlexGrid1.FocusRect = FlexFocusRectNone
        VBFlexGrid1.HighLight = FlexHighLightNever
    End If

End Sub

Private Sub VBFlexGrid1_RowColChange()
    If ChkEditModePermanent.Value = 1 Then
        VBFlexGrid1.StartEdit
    End If
End Sub

---

Yes, when I click on a cell, the cell is in the editing state. But one problem is that when I need to press Return key to move the CellEditBox to the next cell, I need to press Return key twice, which is very inconvenient, so I can't use VBFlexGrid to fully emulate the EditModePermanent property of Farpoint-Spread at the moment.

If VBFlexGrid can provide more powerful and smooth input capabilities, then the use cases of VBFlexGrid will be greatly expanded, for example, we can use VBFlexGrid to emulate and replace RichTextBox.

Good point. Need to think about.
IMO it should be like Excel. When pressing return finish editing and move to the direction.

Yes, it would be exciting if VBFlexGrid could replace (or partially replace) RichTextBox and Excel.

Update released.

Return key will be forwarded according to DirectionAfterReturn property after editing. (like as the TabBehavior property)

Thanks again for the good point which I missed somehow.

To note is that "shift-return" (opposite of DirectionAfterReturn property) will work only when drop-down list is down (list or calendar) and return key is pressed.
On normal state a "shift-return" will enter a line feed and a "alt-return" a carriage return.
Or should we overwrite behavior ? E.g. Excel does not allow "shift-return" to input a line feed.. and instead ends editing and moves the caret to opposite direction.
So...

Hello Krool

First of all, I wanted to congratulate you on your work.

Many years ago, I worked a lot with Microsoft's FlexGrid. Now, although I have almost no time available, I am trying to get back into the habit of writing code.

I wanted to tell you some things regarding Microsoft's FlexGrid, which, in my humble opinion, could even be considered bad behavior.

At the time, I wrote them here:
https://www.lawebdelprogramador.com/...-FlexGrid.html

This is very extensive, perhaps you could summarize these topics, and present them here

1) Clicks that should not choose a Row



1.1) When the FlexGrid has an unfilled space by Rows, below the last Row, and a Click or DoubleClick is made in that sector, what I believe is an erroneous behavior of the Control is generated.

The FlexGrid, in this case, updates the Row property, with the index of the last Row existing in it

We repeat, the last Row was not Clicked, but the Row Property is updated with its Index

This even happens with RowHeight equal to 0, that is, although the last Row is invisible.



1.2) Something similar happens when you Click on a Row of Fixed Cells.

In this case, the Row property is updated, with the index of the first non-Fixed Row

We repeat, the first Row was not Clicked, but the Row Property is updated with its Index



Maybe I'm wrong, but in my humble opinion, this behavior does not seem to be logical or expected.

In my particular case, I have written code to detect this situation, and avoid the execution of the corresponding events

2) The MSFlexGrid does not allow avoiding multi-selection of Rows.

This is strange, since the most common need is that the User must choose only 1 Row.

Sometimes it happens that by a quick mouse movement, combined with a click, without intending it, the user ends up selecting several Rows.

In a context where being requires selecting only one Row, this does not seem like good behavior

There should be a Property that defines the Selection Mode, between multiple and just one.

I don't remember very well, but I think it doesn't exist. I hope I am wrong, because it seems to me that the existence of this property is something very elementary.

3) If the Control has hundreds of Rows, and .Rows = 0 is executed with the intention of eliminating all the Rows of the control, once in many, that is, at random, the dreaded "Automation Error" occurs

I remember, this error drove me crazy, because it was very erratic and unpredictable, but from time to time it happened. Furthermore, it is something that only happened if the control had hundreds of rows, which is unlikely and also generally useless. Either way it doesn't have to happen.

Although it is very strange, I solved it by executing .Rows = 1 and then .Rows = 0, that is, downloading the Control in 2 steps

This doesn't make any logic, but this way I never run into this error again.

4) Query about events in the VBFlexGrid

Is the sequence of events in the VBFlexGrid the same as that in MSFlexGrid?
I have not translated it, but here I leave how the latter behaves, in the different situations that may arise.

Thank you so much

IMO the Excel-style behavour is better, because "alt-return" is enougth. On the other hand - I have never used the "shift-return" or "shift-tab" in Excel or where ever else. I use the "up" and "left" arrows instead. So leave it as it is.

Shift-Return will cause a WM_CHAR of 13 (Carriage return) while a Ctrl-Return will cause a WM_CHAR of 10 (Linefeed)
Of course the Alt-Return will work also (13) in the editing box. (But not in a regular TextBox)

So as Nouyana suggested there will be no leave of editing upon a Shift-Return as to allow a WM_CHAR of 13 (like a TextBox). Alt-Return maybe users are not aware as a TextBox does not allow it either.

Hi Krool
I wonder if there is an option to autosize the height of the grid based on the number of items in the grid.
I'm not asking about the row and column autosize but rather the grid height autosize?
thank you

Works fine with ver. 1.7.0.26

Try to check all your frm and vbp files for the OCX version. Use Notepad.
Or try to declare your sub this way:

Code:

---

Public Sub CalendarFlexShow(Flex As VBFLXGRD17.VBFlexGrid, mvarYear As Long)
On Error Resume Next
  Dim i As Long, j As Long
  Dim Days As Long
  ...

I'm not asking about the row and column autosize but rather the grid height autosize?
thank you

VBFlexGrid1_EditSetupStyle

I can see from the demo, you can set certain columns to only accept certain data when using in cell editing. The demo shows how to lock a column to Numbers Only.

Can someone point me in the right direction, to lock a column down to decimals, able to store currency values. The OnlyNumbers one doesn't allow decimal points.

Thanks

Lee.

No, the VBFlexGrid can't autosize it's height.

Maybe you can play with this:

Code:

---

                           
xSuma = 0
For X = 0 To grid.Rows - 1
    If grid.RowIsVisible(X) = True Then
            xSuma = xSuma + grid.RowHeight(X)
    End If
Next X

grid.Height = xSuma

            xSuma = xSuma + grid.RowHeight(X)
    End If
Next X

grid.Height = xSuma

This doesn't account the border height. So it's "almost" working.

Maybe it would be a good idea to make the "ClientHeight" property also write-able. So the grid adjust's it's border height on it's own.
So you would then do:

Code:

---

grid.ClientHeight = xSuma

---

This would be fan-tas-tic

Updated manifest in the OCX thread which applies now the miscStatus* attributes. Thanks to wqweto and his UMMM tool.

IMO yes, it would be more convenient to customize the grid. ClientHeight and ClientWidth.
