Better grids for vb6.

Hallo, I use DataGrid and MSHFlexGrid for my VB6 Application, but this types of grid are very poor of functionality.
Can you suggest me a better grid to use in my VB6 application, that has a lot of functionality like modern applications have ?
VB6 is very old, and its grid too. Does a better and more modern grid exists for VB6 ?
Thank you.

LynxGrid has a known serious issue with the way using subclass. If OS locale is Japanese or PRC (LCID=2052), LynxGrid draw extremely slow.

I also dream for a open source Grid control like Excel. But for ten years, I still haven't had it.

I personally recommend Flexcell which is very easy to use. I used it for few years. But it is not free.

Distinct features:

1. Cells can be merged.
2. Interactive with Excel
3. Import and Export
4. capability to put picture in cells
5. Powerful Printing
6. Internal build-in barcode and Chart.

with few years experience in VB6, I think VB is lack of a good Grid control (comprehensive knowledge)and an unicode Richedit (COM knowledge). But both of them is a tough job (mission impossible) to create a ActiveX control by own. I don't have this capability yet.:blush:
