Multi-Column What
-
I have a dataset that contains multiple columns of text that needs to be displayed in a control on a Windows form - much like a spreadsheet. The rows need to be selectable so I can retrieve data later on in the application (by being able to retrieve an index or column ID). I'd like the entire row to be selectable rather than just a specific column. I have looked at using a datagrid, but that seems to be overkill. I also looked at some multi-column listbox controls on Code Project but they go much farther than I need my control. Perhaps there is another control or custom control I should use?:confused:

DataGridand other controls are overkill? You could always write your own, defining only what you need. I would assume any other control out there is probably going to also be too much for your needs as they typically try to supply what theDataGriddoesn't out of the box. - Nick Parker

My Blog | My ArticlesNick; Turns out the datagrid WILL work fine. not sure what I was thinking (maybe I wasn't). The only thing I have to do now is programatically set the column widths for the data. :)Thanks for the quick reply.
