PUT A TICK in MSFLEXIGRIG COLUMN CHR(251) 2

[PeterWallace]

I fill a flexigrid with data

one of the columns is eMpty ( actually a space )

on selecting tthe row and Double click I would like to
place a TICK CHR(251) in the column ( if Aready TICK toggle a space )

unfortunatly I can not get chr(251) to display as a Tick

get a U with amulet !

Anyboby got Idea what is correct character, or how I can do this ?

Have done for i = 1 to 255 : debug.print chr(i) : next

no TICK shown

Peter,

You need to specify a font which includes the tick character eg.

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Command1.FontName = "WingDings"
Command1.FontSize = 20
Command1.Caption = Chr$(252)

End Sub

To check for presence of symbols in various fonts you should check out the Windows Charmap utility via Start button - Run - Enter "Charmap".

regards Hugh.

Another method is to have an image of the 'tick' (checked)set the .cellpicture property of the specific cell. You may need a second image for the unchecked state of the data.

Serach for 'cellpicture' for more information

you have carefull, because, when you have select on/off the simulate toggle, on win98 have the cellpicture one value and winxp another value.....

 

[PeterWallace]

sitmapa

will test that out .... some users will be using 98


fortunatly have just started bit where using cellpicture

if is give problem will use font option


Thank you for pointing out a potential head banger situation .....
