<div>
Are you using a data-bound grid?<br />

</div>


<div>
I'm not sure what &quot;data-bound&quot; means, but I want to use the numbers beeing put into the grid via either the keyboard or cut and past, for further processing in my program.<br />

I'm not sure what "data-bound" means, but I want to use the numbers beeing put into the grid via either the keyboard or cut and past, for further processing in my program.


<div>
The MSFlexGrid does not accept direct keyboard input into its cells.<br />
The data-bound grid is similar to the MSFlexGrid, but will accept keyboard input. &nbsp;It has more of a look like an Excel spreadsheet. &nbsp;If you take a look at DBGrid in the help files you should find something that will go into detail.<br />
If you want to use the MSFlexGrid, then the MS recommended way to enter data is to open an &quot;input&quot; box when a cell on the grid is selected. &nbsp;Obviously this is not very user friendly, and is time consuming. &nbsp;I think you would be better off with the DBGrid.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions let me know.<br />

Using MSFlexGrid in Visual C++

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
