Check box not updating? 1

[EMJULIAN]

I have a checkbox in the 1st column of a grid. User selects the box (to select the record) then clicks a command button to execute code. In the code it resets the check box to .F. The only way I can get the check box to refresh in the grid (back to the .F. state), is to either click on any colum in the grid before clicking on the command button and running the code, or by clicking the command button 2x, the first time it doesn't update the check box, the second time it does. Any idea why the check box won't update???

Thanks,
Eve

Hi Eve,

Is column sparse = .F.?
Is the checkbox the current control?
Have you removed the textbox?
Is visible = .T. && I know this one sounds silly, if added programically this one can bite you.

Yes, yes, yes and yes. Any other thoughts? I am thinking it has something to do with the focus not getting set off, or back on, or something like that. It's just one of those little things that is driving me crazy!

Thanks,
Eve

Aha! I found it. I have to set the focus off the check box and somewhere else on the grid before it would refresh.

Who knew?!

Thanks for you reply.

If you change the checkbox.Value this will reflect immediately, but is not the recommended approach. If you change the data the checkbox is bound to, then you need to refresh the control so the control reflects the data it is bound to.
