Best grid control?
-
Hey folks, I just bought the Sheridan Ultra-Grid control and had a rude surprise when going to install it - the unlock key is tied to the computer you want to develop on. Now...I want them to get paid for the control, but I don't like the idea that they control which and how many computers I install it on....what if I want to compile my application on a "clean" box?? What if I want a new laptop?? Suuuuurrrrrreeeeee.....I can call them for a new key they say, but what if they get bought out or go belly up?? I've had that happen before! So....what do you guy & girls think?? Stick with Sheridan or do you have a suggestion of a better grid control?? I need to be able to display parent/child relationships (which most C++ girds don't).

Have you looked at Chris's grid, right here on Codeproject? Or are you looking for an ActiveX grid? The problem is that there are lots of grids, that all do different things and are targeted at different needs. You need to define your needs to know what to look for.

There is already an ATL (ActiveX) version of Chris Maunder's grid control right here on CodeProject. The grid control is highly expandable and comes complete with full source code for free. There are examples on how to use combo boxes, tree controls, and other cool stuff with the grid control. I, personally, wish that it was easier to do popup menus with the grid control because I'm having some difficulties.
