What the hell do I need a grid control for?

A grid control or a listview control? Does your data require editing cells of the data? If so, a grid is appropriate, otherwise a listview control will do.

Looking at the most popular items on CP, I really must wonder what someone needs a grid control for? Since Windows 3.0 I am doing GUI programming and I never ever needed a grid control. Are there really so many people writing Excel clones?

Last year I made a quick prototype App using the "Maunder" grid control for the first time. The Grid Control after some mangling was the best approach for the APP. In my opinion. The Grid was used to design a Pseudo-map graphically of a land area to show the land usage. Each of the Cells was able to not only contain a color and an Icon / Flag but also more detailed information, for when the user selected a cell. Since then I've had no use for the grid control.

I wrote a little utility that uses a grid control: http://www.sagara.org/ce03.jpg[^] IMHO, this looks much nicer than would a hacked-up list control that tries to accomplish the same thing.

I agree with you Andreas on that one! the LISTVIEW control is an excellent control. And no you are not the only listview control freak! ;P ÿFor the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. - John 6:33
