Grid Control in VB.NET

I want to use a plain grid control in VB.NET (Windows
Forms) and yes I do not want to use Data Grid, because I
want to populate the grid manully and have the user edit
it. Does Microsoft has a Grid Control other than Datagrid
for VB.NET (Just like Microsoft Flex Grid in VB 6.0)

component.

Like a lot of controls that come built-in to the IDE, you may want to consider
purchasing your own instead. I recommend Component One's FlexGrid.

http://www.componentone.net/products...1&ProductID=17

You can download it and try it for free. Personally I've been very happy with
it.

P.S. It's not a good idea to use legacy Active X controls, stick with DotNet
whenever possible.

Hi Satyen,

You can use the Microsoft Flex Grid (VB 6.0) in VB.NET.
You may use it by right click on the Reference/ Add reference/COM/Microsoft
Flex Grid control.

Hi,

Perhaps you can consider a professional grid if you have the budget.
Take a look at Xceed Grid for .NET, it is quite a bit more powerful
(yet easier to use thanks to its WYSIWYG designer and documention +
support).

Dear Experts, We are currently using True DB Grid 7.0 with VB6 on Windows 2000 platform.

I need to build a web page that has to potentially display a large amount of data in two grids on the same page. The HTML file with all of the formatting is about 7MB in size. This is too large and I need to implement some kind of "client side" lazy loading. What I mean is this: I want to display a grid that only shows, say, 20 records. I need an external scrollbar control that I can then show on the screen next to the grid. When...

Greetings! I see from the group archives that a lot of people don't like how Snap to Grid works when placing controls on forms. I am now among that number. When I had the Windows Forms Designer option for snap to grid set to False and the form's SnapToGrid and DrawGrid properties left at their default settings, I could hold down Ctrl and use the arrow keys and my control would move one pixel in the desired direction. But when I used...

I need to display a series of controls (in my case, a custom control) in a grid-like fashion. This means this particular control would be repeated multiple times, arranged in a row/column format. It would also support scrolling, and fixed/scrollable headers/footers. Basically just like a grid control, but has the capability to use a custom control for each cell. I don't think the grid control (nor the True DB Grid .NET control that we...

Not sure the best way to go about making this: I have 3 user defineable values - Width, Height, and Size. These values need to define a "grid" of some kind in the following manner: The Width is how many columns the grid has; the Height indicates how many rows the grid has, and the Size indicates both the Width and Height of each individual unit, or cell, on the grid (all cells are to be square, n x n). Each cell of the grid must be...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
