MSHFlexGrid vs MSFlexGrid

I don't have my msdn library installed on this new hard drive image and could use a little help deciding which flex grid control to use.

I want to be able to select a grid cell and also change the color of individual grid cells. Is this even possible with either control?

Thank you.

I is possible with the MSFlexGrid. Just use the properties for individual cells. (.cellbackcolor for example).

You can also add both controls to a form and use the object browser to view all their properties and events.

Thanks and Good Luck!

I strongly recommend that you re-install Help from your original installation CD set - we all {should} use the Help files regularly!

johnwm;

This is difficult coding without them. They are going back on tomorrow.

Thank you.

First, flexgrids are not directly updateable, although there are tricks you can use. The main difference between them is that the hierarchical flexgrid allows you to drill down through one to many relationahips. Try setting up a one to many relationship on a hierarchical flexgrid and you will see what I mean.

...and the MSFlexgrid is not able to connect to a ADO OLEDB data source, if you use the DataSource property.
You have to manually add the records.

Oh yeah. That too.
