i'm making a program to read data from file and display it. i tried to insert the activeX control "microsoft datagrid control 6.0" to display data. but how do i access each cell of grid to assign member variable to update data onto the grid? or what address of each cell?

You mean the Microsoft FlexGrid Control?

If yes, you can set text into a cell using the SetTextArray(long index, LPCTSTR lpszNewValue) funtion.
Cell index start from 0 and it goes from left to rigt (and then to the next line).

Hope this helps.

Ok. In quick, here is a picture of the indexes of the cells (for a 3X3 grid):

        Col A       Col B        Col C
Row0      0           1            2
Row1      3           4            5
Row2      6           7            8

So, if you want to put "mom" in cell B2, you'll have to write:

m_Grid.SetTextArray(6,"mom");

6 is given by: RowIndex * Number of column + ColIndex

(In your case: RowIndex=2, ColIndex=0)

Okay, this what i use:

CMSFlexGrid FlexGrid;
FlexGrid.SetTextArray(2,"mom");

got an "assertion failed" error.

How does Word send the data to the clipboard

25-Feb-04 5:16

One last question, is there anyway to print the grid with data out just like excel?

In which format sends Word the images to the clipboard? Because in clipboard when I choose Dispaly the only options available are Auto and Picture.

Thanks,
Adriana

I would be inclined to copy something from Word, and then call EnumClipboardFormats() to figure out what formats were currently on the clipboard.

While in Word, right-click the picture and select Copy from the context menu.

Yes, I know this, but I cannot copy the image in my rtf editor which is a dialog box based app.

What type of application are you using ? SDI/Dialog based ... ?

In the case of the SDI application, you can show the child dialog in the OnNewDocument function and if the user selected cancel, return FALSE in this function. This will not load the document and will exit automatically the program.
