Hi there,

I'm looking for a control that mimics the text import wizard,
so that i can let the users of my program (it's for my work)
import fixed width text files easy. For some reason I can't
find anything at all for C#, strange since it's something
that can be very usefull. I only found a C++/MFC example on
this website. But that's kinda like chinese for me.
I asked this question a while ago too, but got
some answer like: use .Substring() which is a useless answer
because that's not what i want at all. It's the INTERFACE i'm looking for.
Otherwise i'm forced to write the control myself, which is
going to take.. a lot! of time.. thanks in advance

Kind regards,

Adsem

Not clear. You need to explain required functionality in detail.

I see, i wrote text import wizard, but i forgot to
mention that it's the wizard from excel. Open your
excel and try to open a txt file, and you see exactly
what i'm searching for/need to make.

i know how to handle fixed-width flat files, i wrote loads of programs for my work handling those files so that's not the problem at all. I want to write (of download) a control that let users import txtfiles into the program like excel/access..

If you can access fixed-width flat files, what is stopping you to create an excel/access from that?
