MSHFLEXGRID selecting an entire row on click

[Overdoos]

Hello,

I'm using an MSHFlexGrid to display data. This flexgrid is placed in a frame that is coupled to a tab-strip.

What I would like to do, but cannot seem to get it to work, is the following:
* when I select the tab where the flexgrid resides, I would like the first row of the flexgrid to display as being 'selected' (-> highlighted in blue)
* when a cell is clicked in the flexgrid, the entire row of that cell gets selected.

What have I done / What doesn't work?

Well, there is no problem displaying the flexgrid and fetching data in rows.
Where it goes wrong is with the 'selecting a row'. I cannot seem to highlight a row from a flexgrid. Anybody got an idea?

i am not sure what u r asking but

for selecting entire row goto FlexGrids property and Set the Selection Mode to : By Row.

Thanks Gazal. I feel soooo stupid now :/ That was indeed what I needed to do.

oh, one more thing though...

I need to highlight the first row of the flexgrid when I select the tab (from the tabstrip) where the flexgrid is located.

Any idea how to do that?

Simply on the Tabl Click Even Write

MSFlexgrid1.Setfocus

well, that is what i do, but it does not seem to work.

Another funny thing is that, whenever I click a cell of the flexgrid, the previous row gets highlighted...

I don't know, but it could be that these 2 strange behaviours are connected in some way.

hi overdoos

make sure that there is no code written on Flex Grids click event, and regarding set focus try this

msflexgrid1.col = 0

Nothing in the click-event...

It keeps getting funnier though. The more I test stuff, the more I find the behaviour to get even weirder.

Are you ready? The col=0 doesn't help.
I can select the tab and everything shows up fine, but nothing is highlighted (the correct field is selected though).

The faulty behaviour continues until I get to a list that is bigger than the flexgrid so a scrollbar appears. Once I scroll down to the bottom and scroll up again, I can select what I need and after that... EVERYTHING works. (so even the highlighted row upon selecting the tab).

very strange

sorry to bump this one (I know it's not 'nice behaviour') but I would really like some more opinions on this....

 

[Overdoos]

gazal,

we were so close...

if you put this in the tab-click-event, the first line of the flexgrid will get highlighted.

msflexgrid1.setfocus
msflexgrid1.col = 0
msflexgrid1.colsel = msflexgrid1.cols - 1

For those that are not very well known with flexgrids (like myself), this might come inhandy...

The difference between row, rowsel, col, colsel:
 _______________________________________________
|__|_______|______|_______|_________|___________|
|__|_______|______|_______|_________|___________|
|__|_______|_####_|_#####_|_#######_|___________|-> row
|__|_______|_####_|_#####_|_#######_|___________|
|__|_______|_####_|_#####_|_#######_|___________|
|__|_______|_####_|_#####_|_#######_|___________|
|__|_______|_####_|_#####_|_#######_|___________|-> rowsel
|__|_______|______|_______|_________|___________|
|__|_______|______|_______|_________|___________|
               |                |
               '-> .col         '-> .colsel

1 last problem though...

When I click a row, it is always the line above the one I click that gets highlighted. Anybody got an idea?

hi

looks to be a code specific problem, coz i tried reporoducing the same error but cant get it...

Check your code, somewhere you must have written.

msflexgrid.row -1 or something like that...
