I saw the title as "Grid Control" and about panicked...LOL - Oracle Grid Control....powerful....problematic (Puts us out of work! LOL)

which works like an ownerdrawn listview in that the whole grid does not need to be generated, just what is in view

Well, you seem to have found another solution, but with owner-drawn listview controls you never have to draw anything that's not in view, as the notification messages provided give you the row and column to be drawn.

Windows will never give you a notification to draw something which is not currently visible.

If you only knew how thankful I am that you suggested that control. You are a life-saver!

For some reason I was going to suggest that same thread but my finding threads needs more work.

To date I have not needed grids. On the basis that there is too much knowledge in the world, I have avoided learning anything about them.

Now what is needed is a grid (whatever that means exactly) which works like an ownerdrawn listview in that the whole grid does not need to be generated, just what is in view. I'm guessing that when cells are modified, they are added to a list which is searched when the grid is redrawn. Am I on the right lines?

There are several grids in the source code forum, my inclination would be to use a feature-poor one for a start, any suggestions?
