editing flex grids

[aknighter]

I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I have a MSFlexGrid taking information from a database using a data control. I was curious if it was possible to select a cell and then edit it, while saving the changes to the original database.

Thanks,

There is cluge to do this with the flexgrid but I would recommend another grid control, the data grid. The cluge is to place an invisible text box on the form and when the user selects a cell on the grid, make the textbox visible with the same dimension of the selected cell with it overlaying the cell, enter text into the textbox, update the grid and data based on the contents of the textbox.

I have used this method before, and it is common method for the flexgrid. If you need the code, let me know and I will dig it up. Let me reiterate, that the datagrid provides direct editing of its contents and you bind it the same way.

In the users guide of vb 5.0 exist the way to edit a flexgrid with the code necessary, but isn't very flexible.
I wanna know another method to do the same.
Look it and check.
