SYMPTOMS
========
The SelChange event of the Microsoft FlexGrid control fires once for each row
and/or column added to the selection.
CAUSE
=====
Behavior of the FlexGrid control was modified to trigger the SelChange event
every time a row or column was added to the selection.
In Visual Basic 5.0, the SelChange event fired only once when the selection was
extended, regardless of the number of rows or columns in the selection.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.
This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Create a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic 6.0. Form1 is created by
default.
2. Select Components from the Project menu. Select the Microsoft FlexGrid
Control 6.0. Click OK to close the dialog, and add the control to the
toolbox.
3. Place an instance of the FlexGrid control on Form1.
4. Add the following code to Form1:
Private Sub Form_Load()
MSFlexGrid1.Cols = 10
MSFlexGrid1.Rows = 10
End Sub
Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_SelChange()
Debug.Print "SelChange"
End Sub
5. Press the F5 key to run the project. Click in one of the FlexGrid cells. Hold
the left-mouse button down and extend the selection across several other rows
and columns.
6. Look in the Immediate window: "SelChange" appears once for each column and
row added to the selection.NOTE: If this test is repeated in Visual Basic 5.0
with the Visual Basic 5.0 version of the MSFlexGrid control, the SelChange
event would occur only once at the end of the selection process and
regardless of the number of columns and rows added to the selection. The
Hierarchical FlexGrid Control 6.0 (MSHFlexGrid) behaves the same as described
above for the Visual Basic 5.0 version of the regular FlexGrid control.
