RE: EuGrid: Grid Control for Win32lib

Phil, 

Please, help yourself to whatever suits your needs in my grid.  I liked 
that your grid was closer to the API as changes in win32lib would 
probably not break the grid.  Hopefully mine will translate as I used 
win32lib calls for the windows stuff.

I wound up simulating a drop down by creating an edit control and then 
placing a button with a '?' as the caption to the right of the edit.  
Then when the button was pressed I would show a list box right below the 
edit control.  Probably not the best way but all I could figure out 
using win32lib.

I did notice a couple of things (minor) with your grid.  Using the 
simple.exw example, tab over to an email address and press Enter in the 
edit control.  The text disappears and when you move off the control a | 
is displayed in the first position of the cell.  Move back to the cell 
and the text disappears.  I assume this is because of the enter key 
inserting a new line into the control.

Also, when you tab to the right to a cell that is partially displayed it 
would be nice if the grid automatically adjusts to display the entire 
cell.

Again, just minor things.  I can't tell you how relieved I was today 
when I realized I didn't have to keep banging my head to get mine to 
work!.
