Anybody have a way of moving from cell to cell using the tab key in a
MSFLEXGRID in VB6?

I worked one out for the enter key but the tab key causes the focus to
jump to other objects on the form, leaving the grid.

Thanks,
rick.

Did some more searching and found this at M$:

"How to eEit and Tab with the MSFlexGrid Control"

This code uses a text box superimposed on top of the active cell to
allow more standard editing features. And it simulates tabing by
moving that text box from 1 cell location to the next. Pretty slick.
I set the back ground of the text box to a color so it stands out.

You can still use the mouse to choose another cell in the grid.

Cursor keys work within cells instead of moving focus from 1 cell to
another in the MSFlexGrid.
