Q: MS Flex Grid, user-entry fields?

Author	Message
James C. Bac #1 / 6	Q: MS Flex Grid, user-entry fields? This has got to be a simple question, so please forgive me . . . I am attempting to use the MS Flex Grid control to display an MxM matrix, into which the user can enter his values . . . and when filled-in the user will press a button and the matrix will be 'solved' for him (Gaussian Elimination). Here's the question . . . What sacred incantation must I invoke to allow the user to actually ENTER values into the cells???? I've got code that can pre-fill the cells (e.g. all zeros, identity matrix, upper/lower triangular 'zeros', etc.), but it's NOT allowing me to manually enter values into the cells. I can click-on a cell, and it highlights it with a shaded border, but doesn't change the background/foreground colors to the colors I've specified for 'selected' . . . and when I type nothing goes into the cells . . . the only way I've been able to get info into the cells was to put code into the 'KeyPress' event, and appending the keystrokes to the '.Text' property . . . In the past I've used the MS Flex Grid to display text and iconic data . . . programmatically . . . but never used it for user entry (i.e. like an Excel spreadsheet) . . . certainly it is possible to do so without having to code my own 'entry box' behavior . . . right???? Thanx in advance. PS I'd appreciate direct e-mail reply in addition to posting to the newsgroup . . . it's more timely that way . . . thanx. -- James C. (Jim) Bach I am Saber of Borg.

Dave Car #2 / 6	Q: MS Flex Grid, user-entry fields? The Flex grids are read-only (handy, eh?) and you must perform cell editing by moving around a text box. The is sample code to handle this in the Help file under "Editing Cells in a Hierarchical FlexGrid Spreadsheet". -Dave Greenbrier & Russel, Inc. dcarr<at>gr<dot>com Quote: >This has got to be a simple question, so please forgive me . . . >I am attempting to use the MS Flex Grid control to display an >MxM matrix, into which the user can enter his values . . . and >when filled-in the user will press a button and the matrix will >be 'solved' for him (Gaussian Elimination). >Here's the question . . .

I was thinking about the phantom 'entry box' idea . . . but I figured that was silly :-) Thanx Mr Gates (et al) for making the Flex Grid a "90% useful" widget. -- James C.

Dave Car #4 / 6	Q: MS Flex Grid, user-entry fields? Well, you could upgrade, as the MS Flex Grid is just a stripped down 3rd party grid (Videosoft, I think). It has in-cell editing and other useful features. I've never used it... yet. -Dave Greenbrier & Russel, Inc. dcarr<at>gr<dot>com Quote: >Thanx for the info . . . will look that up . . .

Drew Banfiel #5 / 6	Q: MS Flex Grid, user-entry fields? Or you could just fake an edit cell by using the KeyPress event, and manually adding the characters to the selected cell.
