Krool wrote a really great control, VBFlexGrid. For vbRichClient users, we also really needed a component like VBFlexGrid, so I rewrote Krool's VBFlexGrid with RC6.
I developed RCFlexGrid (cwFlexGrid) for 3 purposes:
(1) With the help of vbForums' experts, RCFlexGrid can be optimized and transformed into a grid control that is comparable in performance to Farpoint-Spread.
(2) With the help of vbForums' experts, RCFlexGrid can provide very powerful and smooth input features/capabilities, so that the application scenarios of RCFlexGrid will be greatly expanded, for example, RCFlexGrid/VBFlexGrid can be used to simulate and replace RichTextBox and Excel.
(3) Provide an example for vbRichClient users to rewrite GDI controls. Since we can use RC6 to rewrite the extremely complex VBFlexGrid, we can also use RC6 to rewrite Krool's ComCtls, so that we can have two sets of components at the same time: GDI-ComCtls and Cairo-ComCtls. My cloned VB6-IDE will use both sets of components.
At present, RCFlexGrid only implements 90% of the features of VBFlexGrid, and RCFlexGrid has not been rigorously tested, and there are still many bugs in the current version, which need to be tested and fixed by vbRichClient enthusiasts. Any feedback, suggestions and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Note:
RCFlexGrid provides a solution to integrate and use WinTheme in RC6.Cairo (maybe Olaf has a better way).
