    Man, your MFC grid control is fan-freakin-tastic. I just finished writing and deploying an app centered around that control. This app is used in the Emergency Room here at BAMC (Brooke Army Medical Center) in San Antonio to display patient/bed status on a 42-inch LCD monitor suspended from the ceiling. I added the ability to blink cells, and alternate column resizing (the right side of the grid doesn't move). Since your appearance in the article's forum is not exactly prominent, I thought I'd step in here and thank you for such great code. You da man. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

        Yes - your code is saving lives. I forgot to mention that at least three other trauma centers are interested in using the program.

          I'll second the praise for the grid-control. It fills one of the biggest gaps in the MFC class library and helped me out when I couldn't afford to buy one of the commercial offerings. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

            Thirded, I used the control in a liquid handling robot control application to provide various diagramatic views of microplates at different phases of a blood grouping protocol. Bit of GDI+ to indicate reagent placement overlayed onto samples and it looked sweet as. Not quite as impressive as having the 42" LCD mind you :) Should have mentioned it at the time. Ryan

                Well, just to jump on the bandwagon, we use a highly revamped version of it in the VCF - I adjusted to code use our code standards, plu tweaked things a bit so that it complies to our MVC view of things. But is was an awesome base to work from. VCF::TableControl[^] Thanks Chris! ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)! SELECT * FROM User WHERE Clue > 0 0 rows returned Save an Orange - Use the VCF!

                      Few years back I used the Chris version of Grid control for a customer service system for banks and call centers. I heard that system got replaced by .Net application.

                        Yeah, I've avoided working on medical software for the same reason. Because you know there's always at least one bug in any significant piece of code. I once worked on a system used in the testing of rocket engines for NASA, which I'm pleased by, but made me a little nervous at the time. One of the reasons I chose hardware and software design for a living is that it seemed so safe. Hard to hurt yourself with just 5 volts. Then somehow I found myself one time working on embedded software for automated welding machines. Ultraviolet light that could bind my contact lenses to my cornea, hot flying weld-berries, noxious gasses, hyperbaric chambers, and high-voltage power supplies that could (and did!) occasionally explode. Yikes. Now I just work on games. :) Dave Goodman dgoodman@infoway.com www.dkgoodman.com "Actio sequitur esse."

                          Agreed. A few years back I used it in the advanced speeds and feeds portion of our PC control app that controls a $400,000 CNC 9 spindle drill. We've sold 100+ of these babies and the MFC grid works like a champ. In fact, searching for a grid is what brought me to CodeProject in the first place. :-O "Reality is what refuses to go away when I stop believing in it." Philip K. Dick

                                    LOL... One of the reasons I got out of industrial automation was because of the nagging feeling that people's lives depended on my software. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

                                    I'm not boasting (really !) but I designed the control and distribution for the distributed PA system at the new Hong Kong airport (CLK) which is also the ermegency evacuation system. I gather there are about half a million people a week (I think). No pressure... The firm I worked at had a lot of stress related illnesses which is no surprise which is one reason I'm now doing forware testing for set top boxes ! Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D
