I love DataGrids

[xhomerx]

First off, is there any tutorials on the web concering the DataGrid in VB6?

My problem:

I have a datagrid which is populated by a record set - If there are a lot of records it expands past my form and i cant get to the bottom of the records. There is a scrollbar to the right, but it only shows the top arrow and not the bottom one. Is there a way to force the datagrid to not expand?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated....

You have probably been here, but about the only decent information on the web that I can find is at msdn. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ridcontrol.htm

For me, the dataGrid has been one of those controls that you learn about by trial and error. Not much information in any of the VB books that I have.

I have never had a datagrid expand any larger than the original size of the object I placed on the form, no matter how many records were in the recordSet. I could not find any parameter that would cause that to happen.

Thanx for the link - I had not been there before...Yet again I solved my problem - I had the following code in my program:

Private Sub Form_Resize()
DataGrid1.Left = 0
'DataGrid1.Top = 2280
DataGrid1.Width = Me.ScaleWidth
DataGrid1.Height = Me.ScaleHeight - (Text1.Height + 25)
End Sub

I took it out and the problem went away - your post helped me because i am new to using this crazy datagrid control and am not sure what is normal behavior for it....

That would do it. I didn't think there was a parameter that would make a dataGrid resize like you described. Thanks for posting the solution to your question.
