FocusRect

This property returns and sets a value that determines whether the Grid control should draw a focus rectangle around the current cell.

Syntax

object.FocusRect [= value]

Parameters

object
Object expression that evaluates to a Grid control.
value
Integer or constant that specifies the focus rectangle style. The following table shows the settings for value.
Constant
Value
Description
flexFocusNone 0 No focus rectangle around current cell
flexFocusLight 1 (Default) Light focus rectangle around current cell
flexFocusHeavy 2 Heavy focus rectangle around current cell

Remarks

If a focus rectangle is drawn, then the current cell is painted in the background color, as in most spreadsheets and grids. Otherwise, the current cell is painted in the selection color, so you can see which cell is selected even without the focus rectangle.

The following code example shows how to set the focus rectangle for the active cell to a Light Rectangle, using the constant value.

Sub Form1_Load () 
    Grid1.FocusRect = flexFocusLight
End Sub
