Grid is disabled but can still select rows

[mdav2]

I have a grid with the following none default properties (other than the usual width, height etc):

ALLOWCELLSELECTION = .F.
HIGHLIGHTSTYLE = 2
RECORDMARK = .F.
RECORDSOURCE = tablename
RECORD SOURCE = ALIAS
SPLITBAR = .F.

I am basically using a grid for the user to select record from (search results) and then populating textboxes etc on the same form for editing.

If I set the grid ENABLED = .F. and run a refresh I can still select different rows in the grid. I was hoping the user could not change the selected row until the grid was enabled. I always assumed that setting the enabled property to .F. would stop you doing anything with an object but this doesn't seem to be the case with a grid.

Any way I can stop user selecting different rows in the grid?

Thanks,

I think I found the answer (a work around really). What you need to do is:

Edit Record
===========
ALLOWCELLSELECTION = .T.
GRID.ENABLED = .F.

SAVE or CANCEL DETAILS
======================
ALLOWCELLSELECTION = .F.
GRID.ENABLED = .T.

and it will stay on the selected row and return to normal afterwards. I would have imagined like most objects disabling it would have disabled the object and everying in it but not the case in grids. I am sure there is possibly a better way to do this but I can't find it at the moment.

Mark,

Try putting RETURN .F. in the grid's When event.

That will prevent all interaction with the grid.

Rather than using a grid, as you require no input, I would use a List Box...its easier
