Inserting a column in an MSFlexGrid

[Jeff Schultz]

I know how to insert a row in an MSFlexGrid using the AddItem property, but I can't seem to find a way to insert a column.

I am using the MSFlexGrid with an overlayed text box control to do my edits.

Here's what I'm looking for:

Upon the Click event of a command button, I want a new column to be added to the left of wherever my current location is in the grid.

I will also be looking for some type of similar delete column fuctionality, but I am sure if I can get an understanding of how to insert a column, delete should be a snap.

Thanks..

try

MSFlexGrid.cols = MSFlexGrid.cols+1

There's no intrinsic way to insert a column at a specified location, DeadEyes' method would add the column to the end.

I've used this method:
1. record the column the user is already in
2. add a column at the end
3. move all columns left of the recorded position left one column

This is best done with the .TextMatrix property, and I would first turn the grids .Redraw property to False and reset it when done. (I've used this on gird with a relatively few number of rows.)

Took your root. Seems to work just fine. Surprising that a property does not exist to avoid this type of coding.

Dead Eyes, I've used that property to add columns. Unfortunately inserting them is another ballgame.
