Found the answer to that prob.
The following code highlights the selected row
VB Code:
With flxgrd
.SelectionMode = flexSelectionByRow
.HighLight = flexHighlightAlways
.BackColorSel = vbBlack
.ForeColorSel = vbWhite
but i have another related problem that i have seen before and not found a solution to.
The above code highlights the selected row as i wanted but the first column in the row isn't highlighted as the rest, it is just puts a grey boarder round it!
How can i get the whole row to be highlighted instead of just from the second column on??
