I am looking to have created an ActiveX grid control (will be used in VB 6) that will have specific formatting functions similar to an Excel sheet (gif attached illustrates). In particular:
1. Background colors of cells are customizable (In Excel -> Format -> Cells: Pattern Tab).
2. Cell Formatting (font, bold, italic, center align, borders, patterns, etc. In Excel -> Format -> Cells: Alignment, Font & Border Tabs)
3. Cell Orientation (allows cells to be in different angles 0 to 90* or 0 to -90*. In Excel te Alignment Tab specified in #2 above)
4. Cell Text Tips (mouseover will display hoverbox with info - would prefer something along the line of CTRL-mouseover rather than ordinary mouseover. In Excel -> Insert -> Comment)
5. Be able to copy an array in memory to the grid by function call or subroutine (In Excel VBA: [login to view URL](1).Range(.Cells(r1,c1), .Cells(r2,c2)) = array2copy)
I have searched for a component that would meet these needs but have been unable to locate one. I have found multiple example at (all C++):
[[login to view URL]<wbr />p/controls<wbr />/controls/<wbr />gridcontro<wbr />l/][1]
[[login to view URL]<wbr />p/controls<wbr />/controls/<wbr />gridcontro<wbr />l/<wbr />article.<wbr />php/c2263/<wbr />][2]
[[login to view URL]<wbr />p/controls<wbr />/controls/<wbr />gridcontro<wbr />l/<wbr />article.<wbr />php/c2283/<wbr />][3] (activeX example)
The component can be designed in C++, VB or Delphi but must be an ActiveX control available in VB6.
Please let me know if I need to elaborate on any point.
## Deliverables
Please give examples of prior work in creating ActiveX Controls. Prior work with grid controls is a plus.
