Hi, my first post here, so excuse the silly questions, but I have a (old) application which is Visual C++ / MFC and uses the MSflexgrid active X control that I've migrated to VS2017. I was not sure if the Exe ver or ActiveX Control would work in this environment? So I tried to install the active X object and can put into the toolbox in VS2017, but when trying to add to my form I get an error (cannot instantiate or similar)... So my questions: Is it currently only possible to use this object in VB6 (i tested there and it works). Or will it work in other environments (VS 2017 - currently not working or I do something incorrectly?). If only VB6 what is the difficulty to make this usable in VS2017 or is it even possible? The main reason I was looking for an update is the MSflexgrid causes much flicker in my application which runs off a fast timer (< 100ms). I can't find a way to get rid of this flicker easily and hoped your control would be better for this since it has been updated and give the programmer more control over what is happening....
Thanks for any help you can provide, have a nice day.
PS - i attached the msflexgrid.h and .cpp if that would be interesting for anyone to view
