3rd party grid control

[LindaRichard]

I have been looking for a 3rd party grid control to extend the capabilities
of the vfp grid. The problem is that I haven't been able to find a grid that
handles null values. I checked into the dbi-tech grid and there doesn't seem to be
a way to do this.

Does anyone know how to get around this limitation with the dbi-tech grid or have a
suggestion on another grid that does.

Thanks
Linda

Hi!

What is wrong with VFP grid in regard to the NULL values? Did you tried SET NULLDISPLAY command? Did you tried NullDisplay property of the control in the grid column?

Hope this helps.

There is nothing wrong with the vfp grid control and null display.
I am looking for another grid to perform the following task:
Have the vfp grid to the left and display a list of sample numbers from my data table
(there are thousands) and to the rigth another grid control that I list all of the
geochemistry for the selected sample (i.e. 2 columns, 1st one
field names, second values). I know I can use change,change in vfp grid to
display the grid values vertically but the problem is that I would need to create
a view to contain the one sample. As is, if I connect my table to the vfp grid it
will display all the data not just the one sample.
Also I would like to have more formatting control that is possible
with the vfp grid. In summary, the user clicks on the sample number to the left, the
values are displayed on the rigth, the user makes changes to the rigth grid,
and I update the table with the new values. The problem is displaying .null.
values in the 3rd party grid not the vfp grid.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Linda,
I think something is missing in your approach. OR may be I am missing it. If there is a parent child relationship between Grid1.ControlSource and Grid2.ControlSource, surely, the grid2 will contain only data relevant...
If you have set the relationship, may be that can help.
Hope this helps
