| | In a C++Builder project I am using a StringGrid component. When the user selects multiple cells using a mouse, logically the StringGrid Object displays the blue selection area.
Then, I have painted every all rows so by using the following code:
StringGrid1->Canvas->FillRect etc. etc.
But this caused a problem. Now the selection area (box) is not visible. And also the content of the cells are not visible.
Now I understand that the content is not visible and the canvas object has a function to fill text. So that is not a problem, but when the user selects multiple cells (using the mouse), the selection area remains behind the colored Canvas.
What can I do about this? |

@brent: welcome to the C++ forums. That was random, try that again in the Games subforums -specifically half-life. Don't pull one of those again, they're really annoying. @kvarnerexpress: Wow, that's a horrible instance of Win API. I'd say try creating a null variable and try manipulating that in your selection code (which you might want to create instead of allowing Windows to handle it) to focus windows on the cells.

Future Of The Mouse

video looks really cool, I see this multi touch screen interface in the future of vjing also,
because that Is what is mostly done in the video.

Power Generating Keyboard And Mouse!

on millions of computers, would generate a lot of power, and it's good for the enviroment. Think

Gyration Mouse

place the mouse down on a flat surface them mouse will change over to a standard mouse. In addition
to woking as a mouse it also has a mode, when the mouse is in 3D mode you can make certain gestures
that will make your computer do predefined macros or functions. This is probably th....

side buttons, and a decent optical sensor. It cost me $29.99 AFTER REBATES (one of which is on

Wireless Keyboard And Mouse Using Bluetooth

laser rathr than optical which is much more precision then opticals and great for fast action games.
It can be a little pricy though.. I found one through froogle to be about 119. The retail price
on it is about $150. I can't wait to get mine. I have a projector con....
