Windows Programming: Howto autofill like/using Excel.

1
Hi,

I'm a non-windows programmer, and have been asked about creating modyifying a table to include autofill capability much like that of Excel. That is type in 1, 2, select those cells and drag using the 'autofill' black square, and end up with 3, 4, 5, etc. It is slighlty more complex than the example and may have a mixture of alpha and numerals, but nothing more complex than Excel currently can handle.

There are two options I am looking at:

The sub-optimal option would be to link-in a excel sheet into the program.

The optimal option would be to have that functionality coded into the current table.

Can anyone advise me on how I could achieve either of the two options (in a high-level overview), and.or if there is another, more sensible option that I am overlooking?

Many thanks.
