Need help with MSFlexgrid formatstring.

I have a flexgrid with one column and many rows.
How do I use the format string when there is only one column?


for two columns this works...
control.FormatString = "ROI Area" & "|<" & "ROI Max"

but which column does the "|<" format? The first or the second?

Code:

---

control.FormatString = "Col_FIXED|COL1|COL2|COL3|"

---

but which column does the "|<" format? The first or the second?

answer is "|"

now, if you don't want to use fixed column try out :

Code:

---

control.FormatString = "        |COL1"

---

I want the first and sole column to be centered text.

ignore the subclassing stuff

Thanks!

Last question...
The first column of the grid is grey/gray in color/colour...
How can I make have the same color and behavior of the rest of the columns?

how about .BackColor and .ForeColor

I think my command line completion tool isn't working! :) lol.
Thanks... doh!

Something is wierd with my flexgrid.
I set selectionmode to flexSelectByRow

in flexgrid click event I want to get the row that the user clicked on.
however I notice that every thing from the first row to the row that the user clicked on is selected and the .row property is 1....

I don't get it...

try mouserow and mousecol

Why is the previous selected row still highlighted as a selected row?
Is there a flag for multiple selection that I'm not setting?
I set the flag AllowBigSelection to false...
But every thing above the current mouse click row is highlighted...

No, but you can clear them all. I used to color the selected cells, and have to repaint them each time

Code:

---

with gridname
  for i=0 to .rows
      HOW DO I SET THE BACKGROUND COLOR OF ROW I TO WHITE
  next
end with

---

Alternately!

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To flx.Rows - 1
  If i Mod 2 = 0 Then
    With flx
      .FillStyle = flexFillRepeat
      .Row = i
      .RowSel = i
      .Col = 1
      .ColSel = .Cols - 1
      .CellBackColor = vbRed
      .CellForeColor = vbWhite
    End With
  End If
Next i
flx.Row = 1
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
  Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
  With flx
  For i = 1 To flx.Rows - 1
      For j = 0 To .Cols - 1
        .TextMatrix(i, j) = i & ", " & j
      Next j
  Next i
  End With
End Sub
