Farpoint Spread

Hi everybody,

I am starting adding a Farpoint Spread (fpspread30) to my GUI
application using VC++. Can somebody give me info on how to use it, or
how/where to get basic programming manuals, books (titles), docs,
and/or sample code? I have used it in VB, but never in VC++. Thanks!

Use ATL, WTL, and #import. Do not use the obsolete peesashit MFC systems to
bind ActiveX controls. And post specific questions about them to their
respective newsgroups.

Now, why VC++? If you know VB, why not write this GUI in VB?

Our GUI application needs to use some of our customer written software
which is in C++. Otherwise, I would use VB.

Write an ATL wrapper on the C++ code, and plug it into your existing VB
code.

You are going ass-backwards, porting your core competency to a fragile
language just so you can bind with your customer's software. Work on binding
that software. It will be much simpler than figuring out how to drive the
Farpoint Spreadsheet OCX from within a C++ host!

Writing an ATL wrapper on the C++ code is an excellent idea. I will go
back to our design and assess this method. Thanks a lot!
