Grid Highlight Override for Specific Cells

[megmogg]

Hi all

This topic was started in thread1254-842507, but I wanted some clarification. I am using VFP8.

I have a grid with several columns.
I want column2 to display a different background colour dependant on a value the column's controlsource.

Therefore, from previous examples, I created a method at the form level and call it from the column:

thisform.grid1.column2.dynamicbackcolor="ThisForm.frm_check_colour(pval)"

The method returns the colour to display for that column only.


My problem is that the grid highlight row overrides it. When i select the row, it gets covered by the grid's highlight colour.

The grid properties are:

allowcellselection=.F.
highlightstyle=2

Any way around this?

Thanks

To update the thread....solved it, my mistake.

I set the sparse on the columns

Thanks

The fact that current row highlighting does not work on columns where sparse = .F. is, IMHO, a bug. Beware, they may fix this in SP2 and if they do, your problem will return.
