Panels/Partitions in grids

[Roxanne]

I have a grid with about 20 items on it. I want to partition the grid into
2. The first panel is going to hold 4 items that I want to stay because
they identify the rest of the data. I want both panels to scroll vertically
together, but I only want the right panel to be able to scroll horizontally.
Can I have a horizontal scroll bar on only the right side panel?

Yes, you can do what you want. Use code like this:

* assumes it's in a grid's method
WITH THIS
.PanelLink = .F.
.Panel = 0 && left
.Scrollbars = 2
.Panel = 1 && right
.Scrollbars = 3
.PanelLink = .T.
ENDWITH

However, be aware that even without a horizontal scrollbar, the user
can make the left panel scroll by tabbing out of the last field you're
showing. If you want to really lock the left panel, take a look at an
article by Dan Leclair in the April '97 issue of FoxPro Advisor.
