Hi!

Ok, understand. Did a lot of effort to make the generic grid class, but never concerned with record pointer. I met the same problem a long time ago and we did not found a fix to the VFP record mark in grid. Record pointer refreshed correctly as soon as user set the focus to grid. You can try to do following programmatically:

form.grid.SetFocus() && set focus to grid
DOEVENTS
this.SetFocus && set focus back to the control

And strange, but wrapping above code into the lockscreen makes no effect, so flushing is not avoidable.

Another solution I can propose is to use custom object put over the grid that shows the record pointer. Just refresh its position above the grid accordingly the currsnt record in the AfterRowColChange event and in other places where needed. I know it is messy, but when you really need it...

As about generic class, you always can add such column or object, with unique name. If you want more details, I can describe a lot of things abot that. Add a column, change the column order, fix the column as the leftmost using grid.LeftColumn and columnorder of column etc etc. A lot of mess too.

Or just use the Grid row highlighting.

YMMV.

HTH.
