Hello all,

VC++ 6.0 Professional, Windows 98

I am trying to create an application, based on AppWizard, which
incorporates the DBGrid. As I am new to VC++, I have come across a few
problems.

I have done the visual bit of drawing the grid on a form, going into
ClassWizard, and adding a member variable, and then generating the
wrapper classes. What I can't find is how to replicate the role that
the data control plays in VB. When I look at the Property Pages of the
grid, the DataSource field seems to need a Data Control, yet I have
investigated how to add this, and I couldn't find anything that looked
like the data control under Add To Project->Components and Controls. I
don't even know what the OCX filename is for the data control. Or does
one have to set the datasource in code with the SetDataSource method???

I would really appreciate some help here, hopefully with the necessary
code quotes.

Hopefully,

TrimTrom
