hi everyone
Im a real beginner in vc++ and after much effort I wrote a program compeletely a week ago. now I want to add a very simple grid control so that my program gets its inputs and data from the grid and runs.
I wanna ask for the best way to do this,cuz its more than a week that im trying many methods and havent got to any results. I also tried it with 3 listboxes(as i need three columns) but the saving their data in 3 arrays isnt done correctly and im really confused :( i dont know what to do and i dont have much time.
would u tell me what could be the easiest way to achieve a simple editable grid in dialog and if i can add the MFC gridcontrol to my project as another project how can i use the value of the gridcontrol cells in my main project cuz i get unresolved external symbol error when i use extern variables i guess as the projects are seperated it needs more than just adding headers and using extern:(
would u plz help me im really out of any idea now.
thanks in advance.

So you did use the project on the article? If so, it might be better if you post your question on the forum section of the article. The author can answer you better regarding your concern.

Solution 3

You can use Hierarchical Flex grid. On your dialog box, right click the button. You get an option Insert Active-X Control. You get a listbox. if you scroll down a bit you can see Hierarchical Flex grid. Select that and click OK button.

Hope this helps

hey right click on the dialog that you want to add a grid control and then choose Microsoft flexi Gird or any grid control according to the requirement control if you don't get this option means then you need to keep the visual studio and complete the installation of ActiveX controls then also if its not coming means install the MS office and then try may be you will get this one then you can use it k all the best
