Suggestion for data input

Art
Hi,

I've got an application I use to track and montior expenses from invoices.
There can be a variety of invoices... consulting, equipment, services, etc.

My application has three panels in the data entry area -- my question is
about the third panel. One panel is for information common to all invoice
types (invoice number for example). The second panel has radio buttons where
I'd select the invoice type.

Below these panels is the third panel that contains the detailed invoice
information.

Currently I create my own rows with whatever controls I need in it -- a
date/time picker, a text box, a combo box. These vary by invoice type.
There are also some inter-column calculations (rate x hours = cost). This
requires that I handle the deletion of rows, copying rows, putting in
scrollable column titles, and so on.

It seems that it might be easier to do this with a control like a datagrid.
Thus far I've only used a datagrid to display information, and I didn't need
columns to be things like a combo box.

Is this a way to go or is there something else that's better than building
my own rows?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions or references.

Thanks,

Art

You can try this contro. It is a basically a listview control in which
you can place any other type control in a cell. It might help you:

I am trying to come up with a grammar that describes the following: record = f1,f2,...,fn END_RECORD All the f(i) has to be in that order. Any f(i) can be absent (e.g. f1,,f3,f4,,f6 END_RECORD) Number of f(i)'s can vary. For example, the followings are allowed: f1,f2 END_RECORD f1,f2,,f4,,f6 END_RECORD Any suggestions?

Hi. I work with recursive array trees of 10-20 levels in PHP. So far I have been using serialize() to store the arrays, generating files 5+ MB large, which take 10-15 seconds to unserialize and about tenfold of RAM! I've been adviced to use MySQL (relational db's), but are there any other options beside that and var_export/include? Something that works in a similar way as MySQL when adding a new element without loading the whole...
