How to Get the Number of Rows in FlexGrid in Visual Basic

The flexgrid, created by ComponentOne, is a more robust grid component than the DataGridView available in Visual Basic by default. The two grid components are similar, but the flexgrid component provides more options and is more user-friendly.

• 1

  Create a new project in Visual Basic based on the Windows Forms Application.

• 2

  Drop a flexgrid and select the form. Name the flexgrid, "fgTest" and the button, "btnRows".

• 3

  Set the property of the flexgrid to allow the user to enter data into the grid.

• 4

  Double click the button and add the following code to the button event:

  MessageBox(fgTest.Rows.Count.ToString)

• 5

  Run the program and enter some rows into the grid.

• 6

  Click the button and a message box should appear with the number of rows in the grid. Remember the header row will count as one.
