Grid to populate combo box

[rene316]

I need to make a combox load the value of a row from a grid, only when the grid's row is clicked. I was tring to put in the click event of the text1 part of column1 somthing like this

Thisform.cboField.Value = grdGrid1.Column1.text1

but it errors out.

I also want to sort the columns in the grid, if they are clicked, by the column they click.

thanks in advance

Normally a combobox is meant to be used as a control that holds more then one value, but...
Try this:

Thisform.cboField.DisplayValue = grdGrid1.Column1.text1.value

To add to what I said. You may not get the expected value to show up in the combo. You may want to pick-up the value from the underlying table.

Thisform.cboField.DisplayValue = myCursor.field1

I get the error grdGrid1 is not an object.


I use combo because I want to be able to either use the drop down of the combo, or the grid to locate the data. I dont know that much about VFP, maybe I'm doing this all wrong, please advise.


thanks again

Try:
Thisform.cboField.DisplayValue = this.value
