What other's are there like Dundas?
-
I am looking for companies that license source code for grid controls and/or graphical processing libraries. I know of Stingray's Objective Grid, and Dundas' alternative, but what others are available, and what are there strengths and weaknesses. Also, I would be interested to hear from anyone who has used either Stingray's of Dundas's grid products (Dundas Dave excluded - I don't want shameless plugs ;P ).

We use the UltimateGrid/MFC since 3 years or so. Quite good, also a little bit sad that it isn't developed anymore since these 3 Years (more features, better documentation, etc.) Uwe Keim See me: http://www.zeta-software.de/~uwe

Hi, I'm using Dundas's Ultimate Grid since 4 years and i can say it works fine. But it seems that Dundas has stopped developing its MFC-based products. I'am a Ultimate Toolbox subscriber too, but there were no toolbox news in the last 6 months. Best regards, Holger Persch

I've tried both the Stringray and Dundas version. Dundas version = v-good, BUT rather bbbiiiggg! I now use Chris Maunder's grid, as it's amazing what you can get it to do with just a little thought.:-D

Dundas are our main sponsor so I really should bite my tongue, but what the hey: WOOHOO! :-D cheers, Chris Maunder

SftelVdm I've been using their sfttree and sfttabs controls (16 and 32 bit) for 4 years. The tree can be configured to be used as a grid as well. The only crashes I have ever seen have been my fault (accessing UI controls from the wrong thread). Very solid, plus source code can be aquired for extra cost. Stephen Kellett

Hey David, Hmmmm, I don't really think what I do is 'plug' our products as much as make sure that a) they are included as an alternative where appropriate, and b) to make sure that points disucussed are accurate. That's all. It doesn't help anyone, particularly me, to be a salesman 24 hours a day. I think we've got good stuff, and I'm proud of it, so shoot me :) Happy holidays everyone, David

Hey Jeremy, I'm a little surprised you'd classify Ultimate Grid as having a big footprint, its small footprint is one of the things the UG guys pride themselves on. Last time I checked, it added about 80K to your .exe size if you compiled it right in, more like 250K if you decided to include UG's printing support but didn't have printing support in your app previously. Our friends in North Carolina weighed in at more than 1MB (although they developed a "magic" build wizard that could get that down to 200K if you decided to remove a large whack of features). Most of the ActiveX vendors still carry around both large packages of their own, and dependent libraries, newer AX grids based on ATL are much better, but still nowhere near the light footprint of UG. Let me know what your experience has been (and no, you don't have to go do a big research project - off the top of you head would be great).

I've been using Stingray Objective Grid. It's very good, although it takes time to learn it since it is _very_ object oriented (in a good sense). But once you learned it, you can achive great things with it. What I dislike with it now (but it seems to be a problem with other vendors as well) is that Stingray almost stopped its development. It happenned after Stingray was acquired by RogueWave.

Im sorry if it came out like that, basically what I didn;t want was: "Buy Dundas - Theeeeeyrrrrre great" (like the kellogs frosties advert). I know you probably would never do it, but it has happened to me in the past :(. Have a good break, David Wulff dwulff@battleaxe-software.co.uk

Chris, I just want to thank you for putting up your jpeg class on your web page. Last month I was going to interview for a job. They asked me to bring a sample program, so I cobbled up a simple web browser. Your jpeg class was perfect and worked like a champ, and I got an offer from the interview. thanks Jim :cool:

It is kinda cool how CodeProject really acts as a support network for each of us in our work. It really isn't all about what we can do as individuals as much as how we can channel our access to resources, our relationships, etc. Don't read this the wrong way Jim, I'm not questioning your competence, I'm sure you're rock solid. It's just really cool to see how the net is accelerating our abilities. David

No problem, I would really like to think we're all friends here. I count on you guys to keep me in check :) David

I think you have struck on something Dave, albeit verbosely as quite possibly any Canadian in the cold would. :-) It doesn't matter how Jim gets his Job, What really matters is Jim gets his job and then manages to perform to his new employers expectations ! It also doesn't matter how Jim does this performance, but that Jim does perform.
When employing a programmer / solution provider the employer should concern themselves with whether the programmer can perform and not how. Thus and therefore Eg It doesn't matter if an employee finds there solutions at www.dundas.com or www.codeproject.com or self creates them, but what matters is that the employee does find the solutions and is capable of implementing , said solutions.

no problem. tell your firends to stop by and buy something expensive :) i'd love to retire early. -c

Oh, oh, I see the makings of a return of our off-shore programming thread of a few months ago... My $.02, The right individual can do wonders as a loosely-bound contractor, but usually having someone as an integral part of the team, working closely with others in marketing, test, development and management provides far greater value. There's an infinite amount of variety in employment arrangements of course, and each situation should be evaluated for its merits. David

I just used it as a component to render jpeg images inside my demo application. Its a great class for that purpose. I've used the raw jpeg code before, and this was 10x easier. I just wanted to thank the author for his work, not claim it for my own. I did not claim to have written MFC, WINSOCK, expat, or STL either; but I used in my little demo browser. The point of my demo was precisely to show how I could quickly come up with a working (if simple) application by rolling available components into a project. I thought that using components was the whole point of C++. Jim

Jim, 1. We have no disagreement ! 2. You were Clear ! 3. I was trying o say you did it the right way. >>> I thought that using components was the whole point of C++. 4. That is oop. What I am trying to say is not just being able to use components that is important, But also the ability to find the components is a great skill !
