Sorry Helen, but it was not me.
About focus, I've mixed feelings about that.
a) I would like to have the user know when the grid is the current
"focus" or not
but...
b) if the user is focused outside the grid, but he clicks upon a
IB_UpdateBar (i.e. delete button) he has to know what is the current
record.
I suppose a good thing could be having the grid *border* "highlighted"
when the grid is in focus, and/or have another color for the current
row when the grid is not the current control (i.e. gray background, or
something user selectable).
Anyway, my setup for IB_Grid, when I don't want the current record
appear as it has the focus, I set:
RowSelect = False
IndicateHighlight = False
When the grid is not focused, only the current COLUMN of the grid is
highlighted, not the whole row.
