[RESOLVED] Which Flexgrid Control?

[aikidokid]

Just wonderd what the difference is between the MSFlexgrid and the MSHFlexgrid?

Also, are there other free controls that people would suggest using.

I need it for a very simple program to store basic financal records etc.

Thanks for your opinions.

Take a look at the Using the Microsoft Hierarchical FlexGrid Control topic in the Help files.

I've never used the MSH grid - only the MSFlexGrid - it's basically a display only grid control. The user cannot directly edit the values in the cells - although there are many work arounds to this.

From what I understand the MSH grid allows for heading rows that have less columns then detail rows.

MSHFlexgrid is MSFlexgrid on steroids. The main difference is (as name suggests) MSHFlexgrid's ability to display hierarchical recordsets.
There are number of ways to achieve that and using SHAPE Command is one of them.
If you are not "shaping" your recordsets then regular Flexgrid control is what you most likely need.

The MSHFlexgrid supports Hierarchical recordsets created with the Shape command. It can display Master/Detail (several levels deep) relationships.

Thanks for all the advice.

It sounds like all I will need is the MSFlex control.

P.S.

MSHFlexgrid is MSFlexgrid on steroids.
