Grids, Grids, ...

I am using MSFlexGrid in my project at various points to display information in a tabular format. I find that the grid does not have built in editing capabilities and so I have added artificial editing capabilities to it.

The thing is I cannot properly detect the current cell coordinates in many cases even after using the RowColChange or EnterCell events. They are fired at all the wrong times. Or else I have to check the current cell coordinates in so many events, the code is unmaintainable.

I also tried using VSFlexGrid, a third party grid control, but found that it does not support some events which will allow you to validate the keystrokes.

Can anybody give any tips on using the grids in your project? I don't want the grids to be bound to a recordsource.

I once did something like that and used textboxes placed over the cells, might that help?

On http://vbaccelerator.com/ you can find an Outlook style grid. I don't know if it has events like 'AfterLabelEdit' of the ListView control, but other stuff at vbaccelerator is very good. It's worth checking out.
