working with grid

[catngo]

i'm making a program to read data from file and display it. i tried to insert the activeX control "microsoft datagrid control 6.0" to display data. but how do i access each cell of grid to assign member variable to update data onto the grid? or what address of each cell?

If yes, you can set text into a cell using the SetTextArray(long index, LPCTSTR lpszNewValue) funtion. Cell index start from 0 and it goes from left to rigt (and then to the next line). Hope this helps.

no, it said Microsoft Datagrid Control 6.0 . but i also see Flexgrid in the chooses. any grid will work, i'll try insert the flexgrid and see how it work. thank you.

sorry, i'm a noob here. can you be more detail on this? okay, let say i want "mom" in cell B2. how the code goes?

Ok. In quick, here is a picture of the indexes of the cells (for a 3X3 grid):

    Col A       Col B        Col C

Row0 0 1 2
Row1 3 4 5
Row2 6 7 8

So, if you want to put "mom" in cell B2, you'll have to write: m_Grid.SetTextArray(6,"mom"); 6 is given by: RowIndex * Number of column + ColIndex (In your case: RowIndex=2, ColIndex=0)

Okay, this what i use: CMSFlexGrid FlexGrid; FlexGrid.SetTextArray(2,"mom"); got an "assertion failed" error.

got it, thank you much. i was trying to access the class function instead of variable member control. that how i got the error msg, it work now.

One last question, is there anyway to print the grid with data out just like excel?
