Hello.
I want to write a program that will have a grid like Listview but I want the user to type in the boxes in a way similar to Excel. Also, I want some cells to limit the user to a list, like a combo box.
I prefer ListView but I see that there are others like DataGrid, DBGrid, MsFlexGrid...
I tried with all of them but I can't really type in the cells.
Up to how many rows and columns are you thinking? Is this a large scale or small scale project. If it is small scale, there are a ton of ways around this.
The user will enter some records, I don't think more than 40... The columns could be around 10. I also want some to be non-editable by the user.
At the end, the program will connect to a server and update a database.
First, since you want to be the one in control of the inputs, and second, because it will be uploading, I would suggest that you manually put in combo boxes, text boxes, and list boxes yourself.Quote:

I was thinking of that but I was hoping to take advantage of the Listview functions. Thank you anyway, I will probably use text boxes and combo boxes.
Maybe you want to have a look on this Its an ActiveX with I think what you wanted to have. Its full Basic source so maybe you can get it to what you wanted to have it. I did it as one of my first exercises learning to program ActiveX, so its for free.Quote:
