Flex grid focus ...

[eequalsmc2plus1]

Hi,

Another grid question,
I got grid and when someone click on it, focus set to text box, then on the change event of text box I set the grid text = textbox text. BUT ... person cant see where they are on the grid because focus is set to the text box.
How you get around this ?
Tried not setting focus to text box and then on the keypress event of grid setting the text box text = text & chr(keyascii) from the grid, works fine, but when you try delete text it screws up, puts lines in text box.
What else can I do ?

Thanks,
Damian

In the SetFocus event of the text box, you could position (and make visible) the text box to be directly over the cell being edited.

Text.left = Grid.Left + Grid.CellLeft
Text.Top = Grid.Top + Grid.CellTop

and the Lost_focus event of the text box, put the text box back where it belongs, or my preference, is the make the text box invisible Good Luck

I use the enter cell event to create a similar effect. From this event I call the following procedure which positions the text box.


Private Sub Position_TextBox(pGrid As MSFlexGrid)
'// Postions the floating text box within the appropriate cell of the grid.
txtFloat.top = pGrid.CellTop + pGrid.top
txtFloat.Left = pGrid.CellLeft + pGrid.Left
txtFloat.width = pGrid.CellWidth
txtFloat.Height = pGrid.CellHeight
txtFloat.Visible = True
txtFloat.SelStart = 0
txtFloat.SelLength = Len(txtFloat.Text)
txtFloat.SetFocus
End Sub
Thanks and Good Luck!
