Eric, Are you aware that some of the VBX controls in Visual Basic can also be used in Visual C++ (Only the ones written for Visual Basic 1.0 though, unfortunately). Other than that, we use FarPoint tools for grids, but they aren't really as user friendly as VBX controls, as you don't get WSIWYG in AppStudio; you just have to reserve the space, then play with it later. I hope this is of help, Peter Connolly Fraser Williams Ltd, Leicester England

Thank you Peter, I was aware of the VBX controls, I just don't want to use them due to the limitations that are beyond the scope of the E-Mail.. I was just wandering if there was a MFC control pack available… ho hum… I ended up writing my own mini version of a control pack via subclassing etc… Stayed up late nights at work, re-inventing the wheel in the object oriented world.. It is a bit frustrating, especially when win 4.0 is advertising this stuff built in.. (See this months MSJ). Thanks again.. back to coding..
