mshflexgrid

[Guest]

Hi All,

I am not sure if i have come to the right forum and if i haven't please let
me know where i should direct my question.

Bascially i want to use the equivalent of MSHflexgrid in the same way as it
is used in vb6. Can it be done and if so an example would be great. If it
can't be done - can the datagrid be coded to work in a similar fashion ?

Regards & TIA

Justin

Yes, the Flex Grid control can be used in Access. Look at -

http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/Otherdownload.asp?SampleName='Flex Grid Demo.mdb'

for some examples.

You mentioned the MSHflexgrid which is the enhanced version of the
standard flex grid control but I think it should still work (although
I have not tried that version myself). Note also that you can use the
VideoSoft Flex Grid control (which I believe comes with Access) and
which has a number of extra facilities such as being able to directly
edit text in a grid cell, amongst other things. The free version has a
'nag' screen which opens when you first use it so you may have to
purchase it to get rid of the 'nag' screen but I have no idea how much
it costs.

Peter,

Thanks that is exactly what i was after - had to get vb mode out of my head.
The samples in that database are very well written.
