VB6 - Count number of selected cells in MSHFlexgrid1

Selected in one row?

Hi Wilder,
can you post a snap shot of selection and the expected answer (count of cells)?

It could be a selection per row or per column

example in picture below

Try this.

Dim MaxRow As Long
Dim MaxCol As Long
Dim FirstRow As Long
Dim FirstCol As Long
Dim intCount As Integer

With MSFlexGrid1
    FirstCol = .Col
    FirstRow = .Row
   MaxRow = .RowSel
   MaxCol = .ColSel

   Dim i, j As Integer

   For i = FirstRow To MaxRow
      For j = FirstCol To MaxCol
          intCount = intCount + 1
      Next
   Next
   
   MsgBox intCount
End With

Select allOpen in new window

Thanks Sha

when i'm using code from ID: 40358522, it works but only if i select from left to right or top to bottom.

But if i select from right to left or bottom to top, it does not count.

Would you know why?

Private Sub MSHFlexGrid_1_GotFocus()
'selected_cell
Dim MaxRow As Long
Dim MaxCol As Long
Dim FirstRow As Long
Dim FirstCol As Long
Dim intCount As Integer

With MSHFlexGrid_1
    FirstCol = .Col
    FirstRow = .Row
   MaxRow = .RowSel
   MaxCol = .ColSel

   Dim i, j As Integer

   For i = FirstRow To MaxRow
      For j = FirstCol To MaxCol
          intCount = intCount + 1
      Next
   Next
   
   selected_cell = intCount
End With

End Sub

Select allOpen in new window
