Grid AcitveX

Hello,
xBase++ has a poor browser, but this control could fill the gap. I need nice looking multiline browser combined with pictures in my applications.
There are also other interesting controls availabe, they are not cheap, but seems to be worth the price.

Would be nice if it can get integrated in eXpress++, I think it is not so complicated, my demo is working fine, got it from the german user group.

I evaluated that control in the past. Though looks good, but I realized that the grid recognize ADO dataset as source data. Using ADO in Xbase++ is not difficult, but when I try to populate a very large table, the control drag forever. That is where you will appreciate the power of Xbase++ controls such as BROWSE that can pull table with MILLIONS of record without performance degradation. I equally had a similar experience with CODEJOCK report control.

Same with me. I struggled with different controls and found out that for displaying table data XbpBrowse is best. Besides, I get it to show data like shown in the grid samples with ownerdrawing. The only thing I can't get working are dynamic row heights. But I don't need them.

Hello,
would be interesting how other systems like WINDEV handle large tables in a browser. I think in Xbase++ it is the btree system that enables the fast browsing. With SQL based system a intelligent caching would be needed. but I doubt that it can bring satisifying speed. Ownerdrawing solves not all my needs, especially for different content and line height in cells.
