Hi,

 

I`m using the Grid class from the Ado Recordset Edit example in my VC++ 8. Now i have the following Problems:

 

1) I can not really select cells. It seems to be not a problem of the styles, the "select" event seems to do somethinh wrong: When I have a cell with a checkbox style, and I change the status of the checkbox, my cell is selected (changes it’s color to selected color, select arrow is shown on the left outer column). But when I click on the cell without changing the checkbox status, or when my cell does not have a checkbox but a text, than nothing happens.

 

Can you tell me what is wrong?

 

2) I want to change the color of the whole row, when one of the cells is selected. In my last post, I got the answer that I have to overide the CExtGridWnd::OnGbwAnalyzeCellMouseClickEvent() function, and set the backcolor of the cells in the actual row. But how can I get the number of the actual row with the CPoint Value the functions gets?

 

Thanks for your Help,

1) We think the problem is that you may have not specified any selection type. Here are the corresponding types:

#define __EGBS_SFB_CELLS                               0x00001000L
#define __EGBS_SFB_FULL_ROWS                           0x00002000L
#define __EGBS_SFB_FULL_COLUMNS                        0x00003000L

Moreover you were able to select cells by clicking the check box because it was a bug. We fixed it.

2) It seems you want to implement the full row selection model with a custom selection color. You can do this in other way. First specify the __EGBS_SFB_FULL_ROWS grid style which sets the selection model when a single cell selection is interpreted as a full row selection. Then, using the CExtGridCell::BackColorSet method, assign a new background color for the cell when it is selected. You can use the __ECS_SELECTED flag for that.
