MORE INFORMATION

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Start Visual Basic. 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.
