VB grid capabilities

Hello,

I want to use a grid in VB6 that is capable of being bound to an ADO data source, and also is capable of hosting comboxes and other controls in the grid columns. Do the native Datagrid and Hierarchical FlexGrid in VB6 do this? As far as I can see, all the grids that come with VB are incapable of "hosting" other controls. Any comments or recommendations?

Thanks,
Trimtrom

Datagrid has a built in "button", which can be defined for each cell. If you want a combobox effect you need to place a listbox below the cell. As per the FlexGrid. It does not have built in controls. However, what we do is, again, place textboxes or combobox on the given cell.

Hi,

That is certainly very interesting code you've got there.  I never thought this was possible.  I'll have to experiment!

Thanks,
