VB Grid: No Error Changing FixedAlignment on Non-Fixed Column

ID Number: Q81998

1.00

WINDOWS

Summary:

Using the Grid custom control, setting the text alignment of a

non-fixed column with the FixedAlignment property will not generate an

error. Though this value is saved, it does not affect the text

alignment of the specified non-fixed column.

This information applies to Microsoft Professional Toolkit for

Microsoft Visual Basic programming system version 1.0 for Windows.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

---------------------------

1. Run Visual Basic, or from the File menu, choose New Project (ALT,

F, N) if Visual Basic is already running. Form1 is created by

default.

2. From the File menu, choose Add File (CTRL+F12), and select GRID.VBX

to add the Grid control to the Toolbox. The Grid tool appears in

the Toolbox.

3. Add a Grid control to Form1.

4. Add the following code to the Grid_Click event procedure:

Sub Grid_Click ()

Grid1.ColWidth(1)=2000

Grid1.Col=1

Grid1.Row=1

Grid1.Text="Hello"

Grid1.FixedAlignment(1)=1 'Right Justify

End Sub

5. From the Run menu, choose Start (ALT, R, S) to run the program.

Notice that when you click the grid, the FixedAlignment property

accepts the new value, but the alignment of the text does not change.

Note that if you try to do the opposite (that is, attempt to set the

text alignment of a fixed-column with the ColAlignment property), an

"Invalid Column" error message will be displayed.
