Another .Net question..using the MSFlexGrid

Hello all..thanks for everyone's advice regarding my SHBrowseForFold er
API problem, I was able to put together a public class that runs
great! But I have another migration headache regarding the MSFlexGrid.

I have been able to successfully add a COM object MSFlexGrid in my
VB.Net project. I can successfully populate and manipulate the grid.
But, I have two problems, that I used to be able to do with no issues
in VB 6.

1) AutoSizing the grid at run-time. I have a function that auto sizes
the Grid at run-time. However, this grid implements the old
Form1.TextHeigh t() and TextWidth() properties of VB 6. .Net does not
have this property. I have tried using the graphics class but I can't
get what I need. What I need to be able to do is something like this
(in VB, it would be like this:)

lRHeight = lRHeight + Form1.TextHeigh t("xx" /5)

Basically, how can I get the textHeight of a standard string and
manipulate it so I can auto size my MSFlexGrid, has anyone had any
success auto sizing a MSFlexGrid in .Net?

2) Printing the MSFlexGrid. I REALLY need the ability to print out my
MSFlexGrid. Does anyone know of a way to do this in .Net. Even if it
is a graphics method of simply taking the FlexGrid and printing it out
to the standard printer object (even if I lose the grid lines)..I have
a class module in VB that does the trick, but this is completely
incompatible in .Net

If anyone has had success printing out a MSFlexGrid or auto sizing
MSFlexGrid columns, I would be grateful for any insight. Thanks in
advance.

The new class is derived from CWnd. I am trying to change it to derive from...

can someone explain how to simply populate a grid in .net ? the way i understand it, there is no more msflexgrid, and instead is this new control that has to be tied to a dataset, and it is a real pain to work with if you just want to throw some values in a grid and edit them with a textbox. i don't want to persist anything in a database, i just need a fast cheap and easy grid in memory that i can work with! i had functions in vb6 that...

How would you guys approach this. Im manually populating a MSFLEXGRID with records from an access database, and displaying it to the user. I want to give the user an edit button, putting them in an edit mode that allows them to change any of the data in the cells using floating textboxes. Once they were done editing they would click a save button to commit the changes to the database. I was going to track the changes using a...

Hi, I have a MSFlexGrid control on the SSTab and now I am trying to make it editable. I got some example on the net that explains how to achive that.
