Anyone can help me with these controls?

Does anyone know if there's an activex control like these one?

One more thing, can anyone suggest a library that I can use to encrypt strings to be stored in a database? Thanks! :)

There might be.. but it looks like it would be just as easy to make it yourself rather than implement an existing one.

It looks to me like a FlexGrid and some combo's, and the _click event of the combos altering the filter for the data... exactly how you would filter the data (and which pre-made controls you could use) depends on your circumstances - where you are getting the data from, etc.

There are several in our CodeBank - VB6 forum.

Thanks for the response. My plan is to have a control like that I could use just to display info, so editing capabilities won't really matter. I'll check out the code bank too and hope to get some suggestions. :)

BTW, what would I need to store program settings in an encrypted DAT file? Can anyone point me to a guide or reference on how to do that?

The extension ".DAT" is pretty meaningless, as it has been used by so many programs/companies with so many different formats.

As you just want to store encrypted data, build your data in a String, encrypt it, and save it (with .DAT or whatever you like on the end of the file name) by using the Open statement (with keywords of Binary and Output). See the help on it for examples.

Thanks! I've noticed that too but I just never had any idea what topic to look at since the DAT file extension doesn't really seem to mean anything. :)

I just noticed that there is an example of reading and writing in Binary mode at the end of this tutorial, which is linked from the "Files" section of our Classic VB FAQs (in the FAQ forum, which is shown near the top of our home page)

Thanks! Just about to sit and code. Actually I was going through your sig a while ago and did some reading.
