SYMPTOMS
When you specify justification settings in the FormatString Property of the Microsoft Hierarchical Flexgrid control, the justification is ignored for fixed columns.



RESOLUTION
Following are two alternatives, both of which have limitations:
 * If possible, use the Microsoft FlexGrid control. The FlexGrid control is not affected by this problem.
 * Avoid using fixed columns when using the Hierarchical FlexGrid.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3.

For more information about Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 Create a Visual Basic Standard EXE Project. Form1 is created by default. From the Project menu, choose Components and then select the Microsoft Hierarchical FlexGrid Control 6.0 (OLEDB). Click OK. Place an instance of the Hierarchical FlexGrid on Form1.  Place the following code in the General Declarations section of Form1: Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load Dim strFormat As String ' The '^' in strFormat is a Center Justify instruction strFormat = "^AAA     |^BBBB      |^CCC      " MSHFlexGrid1.Rows = 10 MSHFlexGrid1.Cols = 3 For i = 0 To 9 For j = 0 To 2 MSHFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(i, j) = "XXX" Next j        Next i         MSHFlexGrid1.FormatString = strFormat End Sub  Run the Project. Note that the justification does not take effect on the fixed column (that is, column 1.)</ol>
