Selecting columns in flexgrid

[anuragshrivastava64]

Hi Friends,
I am using MS Flex Grid to populate some data. But when the control reaches the grid only one of the columns is selected(not the whole row). Can anybody have any idea how to rectify this.

You may need to change the AllowBigSelection property. And possibly SelectionMode as well.

can i get the purpose of AllowBigSelection?

Because, i am not finding any difference for True and False of AllowBigSelection.

I only know what it says in the doco.

Returns/sets whether clicking on a column or row header should cause the entire column or row to be selected.

I have checked Allow Big Selection.
But it does not help whether the value is True of False

Ok IN Form_Load Event I have just set the flexgid as:

With flxViewBOM
.width = 3000
.Cols = 2
.COLWIDTH(0) = 750
.COLWIDTH(1) = 2000
.TextMatrix(0, 0) = "SlNo"
.TextMatrix(0, 1) = "Service"
End With

And then I have Populated the Grid.

But when i press view to select the service then only the First Column(Sl No.) is selected.

Not sure what you mean about "pressing view", but I've just had a play with the flexgrid and can confirm the following...

AllowBigSelection determines whether clicking on the column header or the fixed rows (if any) at the start of the row select the entire column or row. This is probably not what you want.

SelectionMode seems to do what you want. If you set it to "1 - flexSelectionByRow" then whenever you click on a row it selects the entire row.
