mshflexgrid, restrict row selection

[hansu]

I have a mshflexgrid which is bound to a hierarchical recordset. I want the enable the user to select rows of the parent recordset but not the rows of the child recordset. Can anybody show me a way to prevent the selection of the rows bound to the child recordset?

Thanks for your assistance.

Were you able to figure this out?

Hi jlitondo

So far I have not been able to solve that problem.

Hansu, I out a way to make this work. I don't know how you have implemented data entry on your flex grid but on mine, I am using a floating text box to capture user input. Whenever a user initiates data entry on my grid, I pass focus from it to the floating text box. The sub procedure that passes control from the flex grid to the text box calls a boolean function that returns true if the current record is a child record. If a child record is selected, then I do not pass control from the flex grid to the floating text box for data entry and the data grid at that point remains read-only.
The way I know that a child record is in selection is that on my flex grid, only child records have a value in the last column of the grid. My boolean function tests for the existence of a value in this column every time a user initiates data entry on the grid.
I hope this fundamentally helps you. Let me know.

Thanks jlitondo for your tip. I don't use the mshflexgrid for data entry. The program performs some action based on data in the row selected by the user in the parent recordset.
