VB6 MSHFlexGrid - Cursor keys not working

[RobertTheBruce]

The cursor in the grid is not being updated properly when the cursor
key's (Up, Down, Left, Right) are updated, but it does seem to work in
the MSFlexGrid.

Am I missing something simple?

"The cursor in the grid"? What grid? Since the flexgrid is 'read-only',
there is no 'cursor' but the current cell should change when you use the
arrow keys...

I mean the currrent column or row selected. The grid is mshflexgrid
and there is no 'read-only' property.

The current sell/row is now changing when the use the arrow keys. If
it was i woldn't need to post this message!?

"the cursor keys are updated"? How do you "update" a key?

Did you mean "doesn't"?

Slow down. Retype your question and proofread it. I can't make heads or
tails of what you're asking.

Hi Jeff,

It made perfect sense, and never rushed anythig!

Anyway, here's some more info to help!

I need to replace an MSFlexGrid with MSHFlexGrid component because I
want to make UN-Bound MSFlexGrid Bound to a RecordSet, but
unfortunately the MSFlexGrid compoment does not support an ADO/ODBC
connection, where as the MSHFlexGrid component does.

Now, my in the MSFlexGrid I have sets the SelectionMode to
flexSelectionByRow, to select the entire row in the grid, and other
that no other code has been added, and when I run the application and
move the Up and Down the row selected in the grid moves up and down
accordingly.

But if I repeat this with the MSHFlexGrid component, I can not get it
work!?

To All,

Found the problem. It turns out that I hadn't set SelectionMode to
flexSelectionByRow on the MSHFlexGrid component.

Anyway it's now working.
