Display of large amount of cells - best solution?

B

Bernhard

Hi,

Presently I am writing a programm to display the status of phone extensions.
For this purpose I use a WinForm application.
The status of the lines with the respective user name should be displayed in
cells (similar to an Excel sheet).
Due to the high amount of cells (extension, username) to display I am not
quite sure how to implement this. Cellstatus (should be signalled by
different colors) is changing frequently.

What would be the best solution for this purpose?
A datagrid or drawing separate rectangles and change the backcolor, or....

When using a datagrid, can the background of single cells be changed
individually or does the whole datagrid need to be redrawn with each change?

Grateful for any hint / help,
Bernhard
