Jules,

Just to clarify, this gridview dll uses the EzGui 2.0 runtime DLL,
not Chris free designer. Of course one could convert it to DDT or
API if you want.

Russ,

Thank you! No, I am not in a hurry, I program for pleasure, it's not a job for me.
I'll wait for your post, just kindly let me know when you do it.

Thanks!
Regards,
Jules

Jules,

Yes, my intent is to post it on the EzGui site. I'd like to clean
it up a bit, document the code and write up some rules. It's a
combination of code in a dll and code that you must put in your main
exe. Of course one could just put the whole thing in your main
program if you like. Are you in a hurry? Or can you wait for me
to get my documentation act together?

Russ;

I ended up making a
virtual "Gridview" dll in EzGui 2.0 and pass a two dimentional
array of strings to the dll. This way only the records that are
visible are updated on the gui. In addition using color in the
listview is a pain. I have code to do it if you want.

Is this code available to others?

Thanks guys. I really don't want to lug around a DLL, maybe
I'll create a Virtual ListView. Shouldn't be too hard.

I can heartily recommend SIGrid. It's fairly straightforward to set up and works very well. Depending on your needs, there can be quite a bit of initialization code (not SIGrid's fault--kudos to M$) but the result looks and works great.

I've used SIGrid under EZGUI with no problems. Trying to code the ListView yourself would be a massive amount of work, but at least you could put in any extra whistles and bells you wanted.

Greg,

You can, but if you have a lot of cells to fill and update, it gets
to be really slow. I had 45,000 cells to fill and it took way more
then a minute to fill on a 550 megahertz cpu. I ended up making a
virtual "Gridview" dll in EzGui 2.0 and pass a two dimentional
array of strings to the dll. This way only the records that are
visible are updated on the gui. In addition using color in the
listview is a pain. I have code to do it if you want.

You can also look into Edwin Koppels (sp?) gridview control. I
didn't mess with it too much, because he doesn't have cell color.
There's a couple of commercial gridviews available, SIGrid looks
pretty good.

Has anyone successfully used a ListView Control
as a GRID control?

Any Pro's Cons?
