how to programatically scroll with a msflexgrid?

I have a flexgrid whose row headers are the time of the day in 10 minute increments. I would like for my code to be able to look at system time and scroll to the row which corresponds to the closest match when the form loads. So how do I scroll a flexgrid programatically?

I've built a form for similar function as you, but not scroll rows but columns. actually I just modify the data in flexgird, the flexgrid never scroll but it looks like that. if you are interested in it, I can send you the source code.

I use...

.Row = X ' where x is the row you want to highlight
.Col = 1
SendKeys "{Right}"

msflexgrid responds to sendkeys and brings the .Row on the screen (in case it is off screen).

Hope that helps
