Flexgrid enter_cell event

[SimonTheSponge]

Hi,

I have a grid which I am using as a calender. I highlight certain boxes on the grid which have tasks for that day. The way in which I'm doing this is by setting the .col and .row values and then setting the .cellbackcolor property.

The problem is that setting the .row or .col properties programmatically triggers the enter_cell event which runs some other data retrieval code for when the user moves from cell to cell. I would like to avoid this overhead if I'm just programmatically setting the colour of the Cell.

So I'd like to know, is there a way in which I can set the backcolor of an individual cell without setting the .col and .row properties or can I trap the user entering a cell without using the enter_cell event or any other event triggered by setting the .col and .row values

Thanks

The way I do it is to use a variable that informs the event routines not to do anything, something like this:

dim doCellEvents as boolean

sub setwhatever
doCellEvents = false
... ' code to set cells
doCellEvents = true
end sub

sub enter_cell
if not doCellEvents then exit sub
...
end sub

I would generally not use the cellenter event because of this and write my own cellenter procedure which I will call when I want to.
