Does anyone know how to display a checkbox in a datagrid using VB6?
The field that i want to display as a checkbox is coming from a access database and is marked as a yes/no datatype.

many thanks in advance

I'm using a flexgrid (which I've been told is similar to a datagrid). What you need to do is add code to the grids startedit method that checks to see if the column selected is the one that you want to display a checkbox in. If it is you take control away from the flexgrid.

Here's the code I have that checks to see if the column clicked is the that's displaying the date.

    If VSFlexGrid1.ColDataType(Col) = flexDTDate Then

        ' we'll handle the editing ourselves
        Cancel = True

        ' position date picker control over cell
        DTPicker.Move VSFlexGrid1.CellLeft, VSFlexGrid1.CellTop, VSFlexGrid1.CellWidth, VSFlexGrid1.CellHeight

        ' initialize value, save original in tag in case user hits escape
        If VSFlexGrid1.Cell(flexcpText, Row, Col) <> "" Then
            DTPicker.Value = VSFlexGrid1.Cell(flexcpText, Row, Col)
        Else
            DTPicker.Value = WeekOf

        End If
        DTPicker.Tag = VSFlexGrid1

        ' show and activate date picker control
        DTPicker.Visible = True
        DTPicker.SetFocus

        ' make it drop down the calendar
        SendKeys "{f4}"
