Hi All,
       I have been working in VB 6.0 for two months now.I've a problem.
I've added a checkbox on the Tab of Grid to enable and disable few columns in a Grid,which seems to be working fine. However, I'm unable to turn those disabled columns in Gray color, when I check that checkbox. Following is the code, which I'm writing to disable the column of a Grid.

grdTyln(jIndexGridTyln).Columns.Item(cACTRANSLINE) .AllowFocus = False

I would appreciate very much, if someone can help.

Thanks

hi there...

you are not disabling that columm.. you are just not allowing the focus to reach it, meaning that maybe not by keyboard but probably with the mouse you can reach them...

you have to use enable = false to disable them....

Hi Gonzalo
           Appreciate your time to reply. The column below the checkbox gets disabled, when I check the checkbox on the Tab of that Grid. I cannot even uncheck/check any checkbox in that column even using mouse, I've tried that. So, I guess, AllowFocus is disabling the column properly.
Moreover, after this line of Code, when I put a dot(.), it doesn't give me disable Option.

grdTyln(jIndexGridTyln).Columns.Item(cACTRANSLINE) .


I would appreciate if you could come up with some other idea.

Thanks very much

Shailesh

are you using the standard datagrid?? also are you working in vb6 or vb.net?

another idea.. is there is only a checkbox with no text then you probably won't see the checkbox grayed..

Hi Gonzalo,
           I'm using the standard datagrid. I'm working in VB 6.0 . The checkbox has text with it like on a general form you see. That Checkbox is never grayed out, because I want it to be enabled always to enable/disable the data grid below.

Thanks

Shailesh
