Hi Mike (and any others):

I have tried the .RealRefresh() that you mentioned (for those of you reading this, this is a method in the VMP framework that tries to get around refresh problems). It does not make any difference on a) right-click on a grid which I then use to do a .ShellRequery() or b) drag and drop onto the grid. Other than that, when using buttons to add or delete a row from the grid, it behaves.

I have tried adding a .RealRefresh() to the last line of code in the .Rightclick() method. And I have put the .RealRefresh() at the very bottom of the .ShellRequery() method.

I have not actually tried Christian Isbener's suggestion about adding a timer and having that fire a bit later (as that was a bit more work). Will do that next if the client really wants this fixed - they don't use the right click stuff much or drag drop much.

Until that happens, what is peculiar about right-click or drag drop that would cause the refresh to not work?

Albert

>>>I have usually problems when I have a button on a grid that deletes the current row. Even after a skip a subsequent refresh would keep the deleted row visible. When grids misbehave, I do a refresh using a timer, that would refresh the grid a few milliseconds later, and it usually works much better.
