PRB: FlexGrid Control Does Not Highlight Whole Row

• Microsoft Visual Basic Control Creation Edition for Windows, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

Depending on the setting of the FlexGrid's Highlight property, the grid may not select the entire row. Instead the grid may select only the first cell or no cell at all.

RESOLUTION

Use the Highlight property setting of "1 - flexHighlightAlways."

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Start Visual Basic 5.0. Form1 is created by default.

2. Choose "Project" from the main menu, and then select "Components." Choose the "MS FlexGrid Control 5.0 (sp2)" from the list of controls. Add a FlexGrid and a CommandButton to the form.

3. Change the following properties on the FlexGrid control:

         SelectionMode = 1 - flexSelectionByRow
         Highlight = 2 - flexHighlightWithFocus
   

4. Add the following code to the Form's Load method:

         Dim i As Integer
   

         MSFlexGrid1.Cols = 4
         MSFlexGrid1.AllowUserResizing = flexResizeColumns
         MSFlexGrid1.ColWidth(0) = 200
   

         For i = 1 To 25
            MSFlexGrid1.AddItem "" + vbTab + Str(i) + vbTab + _
            Str(Time()) + vbTab + String(i, "*")
         Next i
   
   

5. Save the Project and form and run it. Note the entire row is not highlighted.

6. Stop the form. Adjust the FlexGrid's Highlight property from "2 – flexHighlightWithFocus" to "1 - flexHighlightAlways."

7. Save the project and run the form again. Hit the down ARROW key or click on a row and note that the rows are highlighted.
