If the functionality exists within win32lib, then use what's there (ie, use
a list control with tab stops or listview for your multi column list). Most
of the common controls are now wrapped, for the most part. If there's
additional functionality that you need which hasn't been wrapped yet, then
please let me know, and it should be pretty easy to put in.
As for a spreadsheet type grid, there's no existing windows control that I
know of, although David Cuny posted an emulation that was pretty good
(IMHO). I've still got it saved, if you'd like to see it. Emulation is
probably your best bet. You can also take a look at how Dave emulated some
rich edit features (like multi-colored text) in the IDE he released for
win32lib.
