Grid .Value property not working

[prohbe]

Have a grid that keeps returning 0 in the .Value property.
The grid has a grid class and in the grid class I print the values of the grid properties in the AfterRowColchange code of that class.

The ActiveCol and ActiveRow are both returning correct values. The grid has to in-focus since I am putting the code in AfterRowColchange code of that class.

Any ideas.
Thanks
Pete

Hi Pete,

What value are you looking for? Is it the value of the current cell?

If so, you need to look at the Value property of the textbox (or other control) contained within the active column.

Or, better, look at the contents of the relevant field in the current record of the cursor or table that is bound to the grid. For example, to find the value of cell that contains ForeName, look in the ForeName field of the cursor.

At least, that's how I've always done it.

Mike

Grid.Value is a valid property that should work and works elsewhere but your right - more than one to skin a ====

Thanks

see help: For the Grid control, the Value property is available only when the Grid control has focus.

But it never even occurred to me to make use of the grid.value. I even don't know what it would reflect, if that eg is the value of the active cell.

It's quite useless if it's only having the value as long as the grid has the focus.

Bye, Olaf.
