To use the Grid control in SDK project, grid_lib project must be compiled. And after that, a header file must be included.
#include "grid_lib\grid_lib.h"
Next, initialize the Grid and create a window handle of the Grid.
InitGrid(::GetModuleHandle(NULL));
hWndGrid = CreateGrid(WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD, 0, 0, 0, 0, hWnd, ::GetModuleHandle(NULL));
To use the Grid control in MFC project, grid_lib project must be compiled. And after that, a header file must be included.
#include "MFCGrid.h"
After creating an instance of grid control, use GetGrid() function to get the CGrid* pointer. The CGrid control supports the following:
CellFromPoint ClearCell Draw Get background brush Get/set background color Get/set fix cell background color Get/set fix cell board color Get/set focus cell board color Get/set selected cell background color Get/set sheet background color Get/set column count Get/set row count Get/set fix row count Get/set fix column count Get/set font GetMergeInfo Get/set row height Get/set column width - Insert/remove row
