Grid created by code - operate on all records

[coldan]

On my form I have A GRID (10 fields) in which are two fields I manipulate programmatically.

A checkbox ( to signify whether that record should be deleted)

A logical field [do_dele] to record the deletion for later processing

If the checkbox is clicked for a 'Delete' selection I use

<code>
Thisform.grid1.SetAll("DynamicFontStrikeThru","DODELE = .t.")
</code>


To strikethrough that record for a visual indication.

This is all working for a single records.

I wish to allow a deletion of ALL records if the messagebox entry is [Yes] when prompted after clicking the checkbox.

I can change all the checkboxes and the do_dele fields but how do I strikethrough ALL records programmatically?

regards

Instead of using this code in the click of the checkbox, put it in the grid's Init method.

Coldan,

As Markros correctly says, place your code in the grid's Init (it only needs to be executed once), not at the time of the click.

However, you also need some code in the checkbox's Click. That code needs to set DODELTE to .T., and also refresh the grid. It's the Refresh that causes the DynamicXXX properties to be evaluated and applied.

You refer to a messagebox. I can't see where that comes into the picture.
