Hi Sergey,

My gratitudes for your attention to this thread. Yes, I do put code in the AfterRowColChange event to update the textbox contents but ONLY when a MOUSE click, the DOWN or the UP key was used to position to a grid row.

I put have a UpdateTextBox property which I set to .T. if in the textbox keypress event the UP or DOWN keys were pressed, but am at a loss on how to determine if a MOUSE click was used. The UpdateTextBox property is being used by the AfterRowColChange to determine if it will update the textbox contents or not.

Thanks

Dennis

I am using a grid instead of a listbox (as found in Index page of VFP help) bec a listbox has a limit in terms of records it can contain (this true?).

>>It works fine except for one thing: when the user uses the mouse to click on the grid it does not update the textbox value! IS THERE A WAY TO DETECT THIS? I have explored AMOUSEOBJ, SYS(1270) to detect if the COLUMN object is the current object over which the mouse pointer is over, but it seems to not work properly.
