Hi Y'all,

It used to be that if I set the size of the columns inside of a grid to be exactly the width of the overall grid container (with maybe 1 pixel less for the last column), if the user tabbed across the column, when they came to the last column it would jump back to the first column (which might be a framework feature - VMP - I don't know). What I had to do was make sure that the last column was sized such that you could see the vertical grid line inside the grid.

Now when converting my customer's app to VFP9, by default even though the right-side grid line of the last column is set to be inside the grid container, at run time the vertical grid line disappears and when the user tabs to the end of the row, the grid "jumps" to a fake column (column number n+1) and they wonder whats up. There is no horizontal scroll bar by the way.

I had to increase the size of the grid container to be +6 pixels wider than what would normally be required in order to a) see the last right-most vertical grid line and b) to preventing the "jumping". But then what the user sees is a skinny blank column about 1/4" wide on the screen which looks out of place.

Is there a way around this behaviour? I could not find a property that more or less says "Lock columns in place" or something.

Thanks,

Albert Gostick
