Help with adding a button to a grid column programmatically

Help

    I am working on a VFP 9.0 app that has a grid that shows 3 different sets of data depending on a radio button selection. This is why I need to do this programmatically. I need to add a command button to one of the columns. I can add the command button using the IDE and it works fine. But when I add it using the following code all I get is a grey background in the column. I thought it might be because the command button was way to large for the column but this is not the case. For a test I tried to add a check box to the column and it added it and displayed it properly but I could not check the box using the mouse I have no idea why this is not working. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.


Code used to add the command button to a column:

thisform.grid1.column1.AddObject('commandbutton1','CommandButton')thisform.grid1.column1.Sparse = .f.
thisform.grid1.column1.bound= .f.
thisform.grid1.column1.commandbutton1.enabled= .t.
thisform.grid1.column1.CurrentControl = 'commandbutton1'

I have tried both .t. and .f. on the bound property and have the same results.

If I can get this working one other question is how/where can I add code for the click event because the command button was added programmatically

Thanks
Rob

         Thank you very much! I have wasted hours on this problem. I never thought to set that property. Was the visible property set to false because the button was added programmatically! Are there any others to look for that would not default the same way as using the toolbar to add a button


    Thanks Again

    You forgot:
    thisform.grid1.column1.commandbutton1.visible = .t.

    You can't add code at runtime (or better say it's not very easy to do). Either create a button class that has necessary code or in VFP8 and later BindEvent() to a custom form event.

    Check addobject,newobject in help. When an object is added using addobject visible is implicitly set to .F. to prevent visual discrepencies.
