How to Prevent a User from Changing the Row Height of a Grid

ID: Q135798

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

Microsoft Visual FoxPro version 3.0 does not provide a property that you can use to prevent the user from re-sizing the row height of a grid at run time. The only way to prevent this is to trap for that event, and reset the value back to its original value when the user attempts to change it.

Step-by-Step Example

The following steps demonstrates how to prevent the user from being able to change the row height of a grid. It uses the MouseMove event of the grid to trap for that event.

1. Add a custom property to the Form called nRowHeight.

2. Add the following code to the form's Init event procedure:

   ThisForm.nRowHeight = ThisForm.Grid1.RowHeight

3. Add the following code to the grid's MouseMove event procedure:

   ThisForm.Grid1.RowHeight = ThisForm.nRowHeight
