FormatString in HFlexgrid not formating on fixed column

[olichap]

I am using VB6, SP5; my HFlexgrid component is listed as SP4 (ver 6.0.88.4). My grid as 6 rows, 2 columns; 0 fixed rows, 1 fixed col.

In code I am trying to set the FormatString to display my field names vertically in the fixed column. Here is my code:

sFieldNames = ";Name |Address1 |Address2 |Cty/St/Zip |Control# |DOB "
.FormatString = sFieldNames

When the app is run and the grid populated, the field names do not appear (the fixed column is still blank). Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Oliver

I believe FormatString assumes there is at least one fixed row to begin with. This works:

MSFlexGrid1.FixedRows = 1
MSFlexGrid1.FormatString = ";Name |Address1 |Address2 |Cty/St/Zip |Control# |DOB "
MSFlexGrid1.FixedRows = 0

Thanks,

I will give the above a shot. I ended up setting the text for each field in the fixed col individually (which is not the way I want to do it). Originally I opted not to use a fixed row since I really don't need it, but if it will allow me to cut down on the lines of code it could be worth trying.
