SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Visual FoxPro version 3.0 does not provide a property that you can use
to prevent the user from re-sizing the row height of a grid at run time. The
only way to prevent this is to trap for that event, and reset the value back to
its original value when the user attempts to change it.

================

Step-by-Step Example
--------------------

The following steps demonstrates how to prevent the user from being able to
change the row height of a grid. It uses the MouseMove event of the grid to trap
for that event.

1. Add a custom property to the Form called nRowHeight.

2. Add the following code to the form's Init event procedure:

     ThisForm.nRowHeight = ThisForm.Grid1.RowHeight

3. Add the following code to the grid's MouseMove event procedure:

     ThisForm.Grid1.RowHeight = ThisForm.nRowHeight
