1. RE: Tables in Windows
Yeah, I thought there might be. But can I find it? Can I ---!
An array of little windows, text boxes or whatever, is a possible but
it's pretty revolting, isn't it. So - anyone else out there know where
I can access a spreadsheet-like table?

I don't think it ever made it. However, I've kept it. It's a little rough,
but should at least get you started.
On a related note, my work on making Eu COM friendly is progressing slowly
but surely. Actually, the object I'm working to wrap is a spreadsheet
ActiveX control. (MTS, I've tried numerous times to send you the code, but
it always comes back.) I've discovered (in a roundabout way--of course this
wasn't well documented) that it's necessary for a container or COM client to
implement at least one interface for communication with the COM objects it
activates. It's just a matter of figuring out the API now.
If anyone has worked with COM before (in C, for instance--VB doesn't count)
and written apps that do this sort of thing (esp. calling
IQuickActivate::QuickActivate or implementing IOleClientSite / IAdviseSink )
I'd appreciate any insights or source code :) to help me along.

3. RE: Tables in Windows
In the next release of IDE, there will be table and array handling.
Coding is almost done. You will be able to drop controls onto a pseudo
control for the first 'cell' and then right click to define the number
of rows, columns and spaces between. It is not nearly as nice as David's
spreadsheet demo because I wanted the table/array to be unspecific.
If David has no objections, is there any interest in a pseudo control in
IDE that will generate David's spreedsheet and the supporting routines?

4. RE: Tables in Windows
Judith,
I look forward with bated breath for your next IDE, then. I'll hang on
till it turns up. As I've said before, your IDE is superb and I'd much
prefer to do the whole program Windows coding through that, rather than
in bits and bobs tagged on. So - we'll wait and see!

5. RE: Tables in Windows
Derek,
Hold off on Table/Array or the Spreadsheet? Or both? When do you think
this framework might be available?
I'm just about done coding Table/Array. If you will be awhile I may
continue with what I'm doing. I can easily strip it out when your
routines are available.
Spreadsheet (thanks David!) would be a little longer if I added the
routines David mentioned were needed in his original posting last year.

Derek,
Your addition to Win32Lib sounds good - will the individual cells be
addressable from an array - sequence - so I can write them from a loop?
Will they be editable cells, which I need, and can I read them by
indexed array again? Yeah, yeah, I know, it's not done yet, go
mooorreee sssllloowwwlllyyyy pplleeaasee. But I need to plan ahead
according to what will (hopefully) be available in the (very) near
future.

7. RE: Tables in Windows
Well, I plan the first stab at spreadsheet from IDE will just be the
demo (grid.exw) David wrote last year with some more key handling and
anything else David suggested in last year's note that looks easy 
. I
don't expect to be adding any formula functions either.
I'll probably pop it into IDE's next release which I expect will be the
first week of May.

8. RE: Tables in Windows
Hi there again.
I just got hold of Matt Lewis' grid.ew code, and after a few minutes
customising it does just what I want. I'd have thought that something
like that generated by IDE would be good, but the integration of it into
IDE might present a lot more problems that I'd expect. For now, for this
job, it is fine.
I added code to handle non-arrow-key type keys, and load the gridData
sequence/array, so changing data and retreiving new data are dead easy.

Just to clarify, it's actually David Cuny's code (what isn't around here :),
I've just kept it handy. :)
