Is the datagrid the only editable grid on a PPC

[szlamany]

I want to allow users to enter data next to a kids name in a grid-like setting.

It appears the datagrid can only be used in a bound mode - I was looking to do this without a bound control.

Any other editable controls that appear grid like??

Right now I'm displaying in a listview - and need to make this app read/write instead of display-only.

Hi,
it doesnt' need to be bound - http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickst...idediting.aspx shows one way to edit it.
Resco do a 3rd party grid that may help - http://www.resco.net/developer/smartgrid/default.asp#

Thanks for the links...

After hashing this around in my head for a while I decided to go down a path of using a sliding bar to change values in a label - along with displaying 4 letters they can click on to set those values.

Basically the range is 0-99 or A, E, M or R.

With these PPC's you certainly do have to think outside the box for what an easy and clear method of data entry will be.

When I'm done maybe I'll try to put a screen shot here for others to see.

Hi,
I agree - PPC design for input is certainly different. Trying to keep keying-in to a minimum, and catering for screen sizes, portrait and landscape is certainly a challenge.

These windows forms guys don't realise how easy life is
