adding a custom text box to a grid 

thread184-700880

I am trying to add a custom text box to a grid without

success.  

I created  a custom textbox called mytextbox using the

class editor.  In the click event I placed the text

messagebox ("Hello")

I then created a form and added a grid control to the form.

Using tools,options,controls,visual class librairies,

I added the custom class that I created to the form.

I then set the recordsource for the grid to my data table

and placed the following code in forms INIT

WITH thisform.grid1
    LOCAL i

    FOR i=1 TO .columncount

        .columns(i).addobject("mytextbox1","mytextbox")
        .columns(i).CurrentControl="mytextbox1"

        .columns(i).removeobject("Text1")

        .columns(i).sparse=.t.

    NEXT i

ENDWITH

When I run the form the data appears in the grid,

but when I click no message.

When I check for currentcontrol in each column I get

mytextbox1. So that seems to be setting fine.

If I drag my custom text box from the form controls

dialog (view classes) onto the form, a text control called

mytextbox1 is created.  I then run the form

and click on the custom text box and get the

message Hello.  So the custom text box works

outside the
grid but not when placed in the grid.

Does anyone have any suggestion as to why adding the

custom text box to the grid control is not working.

What am I forgetting to set in the grid?

Thanks for your help

I found the solution to my problem.

I forgot to set the following property

.columns(i).mytextbox1.visible=.t.

Thanks
