How to make list boxes like that of a spread sheet

How can I make list boxes like that of a spread sheet. I want to make a List box such that it looks something like an excel document where you can highlight and edit an individual elements (cell) for editing and copying, etc. Is there a common control that enables me of doing so? Or do I have to write my own code to do so?
If the answer is the later, then please advise on how to write such code.

Thank you.

I haven't heard of any function before, but maybe there is
Hi,

Why U want list box to behave as spread?. Instead U can use spread itself. Or with some difficulty u can make the ListCtrl to behave as spread.

I dont think it is good idea to convert a list box into the spread!!!

What do you mean by "spread"? Is that a control class.
Anyway, I guess I found the solution to m problem, I found a grid class on the Internet that does exactly what I want it to do. There is also a Microsoft class posted on the MSDN called FlexGrid.

Thank you guys anyway.
No problem. All the best for your project then
Yes, u R right. SpreadCtrl is a control which I feel is better than Grid control. U can use that.

U can use SpreadCtrl instead of list box. If you start converting list box as SpreadCtrl, frankly you don`t know when you will complete your task.
You might consider the Dundas Ultimate Grid control for this ...
look at www.dundas.com...
