Introduction

This article presents a Grid control which is built with Windows API. It also has an MFC class.

Background

You can get many grid controls from the Internet. Maybe some of them are free and others are not. Grid is a useful control to show or edit data. The grid control presented in this article support up to 65536 rows and 256 columns. It also supports text edit and boolean type edit.

Using the Code

To use the Grid control in SDK project, grid_lib project must be compiled. And after that, a header file must be included.

C++
#include "grid_lib\grid_lib.h"

Next, initialize the Grid and create a window handle of the Grid.

C++
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.

C++
#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
