Hi again,

How did you get on?

Here is a shape class that we use. It is written for VFP7. To use it, you just have to init it and pass in a reference to your grid object.

You can see that the Click and Double Clicks are passed to the Grid Click and Double Click. This was to avoid having to code the click and double click for all of our controls.

To set the mousepointer, you'll just have to add the properties MousePointer and MouseIcon in the declaration.

You'll notice that we have a few properties to do with resizing in there. This is something you'll have to think about if the grid is resized.

Good Luck

Mace
