Hi!

If you look to the evants tracking utility to see what events are firing for grid, you will see that BeforeRowColChange fires before any other event. So there is no obvious way to distinguish the movement. You can do this by use of transparent grid cover for this and catching of the keys in the KeyPress event of the form when grid is focused. This way you will catch mouse clicks and keys that cause row/column changes. Quite messy, but it is possible, I can help more if needed. However, is this realy needed?

The only thing I know it is useful is to use nodefault in the BeforeRowColChange event to prevent to change row if data entered invalid in the grid. Well, use of the grid for data entering is quite bad interface layout idea at all. This is because a lot of trouble with grid to handle this.

Fortunately, in VFP7 there is a property of the grid that allows you to see what is going to change in the grid - row or column. I would like also a way to see if grid lost focus or record source going to reconstruct... (BeforeRowColChange fires also in other cases)

HTH.

>I don't know, if it would help, but this is what I have. Our grid class has a property nCurRec. In AfterRowColChange event of the grid I check, if this.nCurRec<>recno(this.RecordSource) && (usually I just use a table name here), and if it doesn't, I execute some code and this.nCurRec=recno(). You can also use the similar code in BeforeRowColChange event. So, using this property, I can easily identify, was it movement between rows or between columns.
