help keeping row colors in sync on grid

[Judi201]

Hi!
I have 2 grids. One has 1 column used to select data for second grid. This grid has 2 columns.

I have my selected rows displaying in the colors I want except I can't seem to find a way to have the row in both columns to show 'selected' when I click on either. How can I make the ROW be selected when either column is clicked with the mouse or moved to with up-down arrows?

My grids are based on examples from "1001 Things..." but that example has only one column in both grids and I can't seem to be able to extend it.

Thanks for a push.

thisform.Grid1.SetAll([DynamicBackColor],;
            [IIF(Condition for selected row,;
                 RGB(color for selected row),;
                 RGB(color for non selected row))],[Column])

WOW!
Hardly got it posted before you are here with an answer. I will work it in. Thanks so much.

Borislav,

When I went to implement your suggestion, I discovered that is exactly what I am doing.

Stepping through debug, I see that it IS highlighting both columns so I must be changing that somewhere else and just can't catch it. At least now I know to look at something else.

Thanks.

Judi,

The ideal answer is that you should set the grid's HighlightStyle property to 2 and its AllowCellSelection to .F.

But, if I remember right, you are using VFP 6.0. Unfortunately, those properties didn't arrive until VFP 8.0.

Mike,

Thanks for the response. Yes, I am still using 6.0. You have just given me one more reason to upgrade. It is a lot of expense for me as I have only a few projects lined up and don't know it I will pursue others. The ones I have committed to are for a local company that I did work for many years ago. I felt I kind of owed it to them and besides it would be fun!
It has been fun, expecially realizing that help like this forum was available, but I don't know how much farther I will take it. After all, I just retired from my real job!

I have the row coloring in the secord grid working properly but somewhere in fixing that I lost the coloring in the row selected in the first grid.

Is there a VFP 6.0 'ideal solution for that one?

Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi!

Just to close the thread, I have found my solution to the problem. I just failed to reset coloring in one place. Got a lot more comfortable with DEBUG doing it.
