Visual Basic

The Microsoft FlexGrid (MSFlexGrid) control displays and operates on tabular data. It allows complete flexibility to sort, merge, and format tables containing strings and pictures. When bound to a Data control, MSFlexGrid displays read-only data. You can put text, a picture, or both in any cell and specify the current cell using the Row and Col properties. Text in cells wraps if it is too long and the WordWrap property is set to True. Use the Cols and Rows properties to determine the number of columns and rows.

Visual Basic: MSFlexGrid/MSHFlexGrid Control

The Microsoft FlexGrid (MSFlexGrid) control displays and operates on tabular data. It allows complete
flexibility to sort, merge, and format tables containing strings and pictures. When bound to a Data control,
MSFlexGrid displays read-only data.

Syntax

MSFlexGrid

Remarks

You can put text, a picture, or both, in any cell of an MSFlexGrid. The Row and Col properties specify the
current cell in an MSFlexGrid. You can specify the current cell in code, or the user can change it at run time
using the mouse or the arrow keys. The Text property references the contents of the current cell.

If the text in a cell is too long to display in the cell, and the WordWrap property is set to True, the text
wraps to the next line within the same cell. To display the wrapped text, you may need to increase the cells
column width (ColWidth property) or row height (RowHeight property).

Use the Cols and Rows properties to determine the number of columns and rows in an MSFlexGrid.
Note   Before you can use an MSFlexGrid in your application, you must add the MSFlxGrd.ocx file to your
project. To automatically include the file in your project, put it in the Auto load file. When distributing your
application, you should install the MSFlxGrd.ocx file in the users Microsoft Windows System directory. For
more information about adding an ActiveX control to a project, see "Standard ActiveX Controls" in the
Visual Basic Programmers Guide.

Properties :
 AllowBigSelection Property

Boolea A Boolean expression that specifies whether an entire column or row is selected when the header
n is clicked.

Settings
The settings for Boolean are:

Setting Description

False When the user clicks the header, only the header is selected.
Example : The following code example allows an entire column or row to be selected when the user
clicks on the header.

Note   If you are using the MSFlexGrid, substitute "MSHFlexGrid1" with "MSFlexGrid1."

Sub Form1_Load ()
MSHFlexGrid1.AllowBigSelection =True
End Sub

 AllowUserResizing Property
Returns or sets a value that determines whether the user can use the mouse to resize rows and columns in
the MSHFlexGrid.

border between rows and columns. The mouse pointer changes into an appropriate sizing pointer, and the
user can drag the row or column to change the row height or column width.

Example :The following code example adds user resizing functionality.

Note   If you are using the MSFlexGrid, substitute "MSHFlexGrid1" with "MSFlexGrid1."

Sub Form1_Load ()
MSHFlexGrid1.AllowUserResizing =True
End Sub
