Open-source Grid component? Similar to Scintilla effort?

[USCode]

Anyone know of an open-source, cross-platform grid component that offers the same levels of control, power and flexibility for a grid component that the Scintilla component does for text editing?

I'm not asking about a grid component that works like Scintilla but a component that offers the attributes I mentioned above. Something that is open-source and contributed to by lots of folks programming in many different environments ... like Scintilla.

We've got some great grid-controls here that folks have graciously developed and shared for PB but it seems that they're either Windows-only, are not actively developed or are lacking in flexibility and power.

That hurts my feelings



Actually, when I get time, I'm planning on going over my own project to make it non-dependent on Windows. Mine was originally a grid project but then turned into a spreadsheet project. I plan to redo it as a grid project now that I know a lot more than I did ~_~ Lots of speed tricks I can put in there. I figure I can probably have something basic within a month easily. Not sure if it'll fit your bill but I hope for it to be at least more OS-friendly.

Please don't take it personally, I'm sure I'm not aware of all the grid projects going on here but I was thinking about something more widely contributed to, like a Scintilla-type project.

I was joking. That's why a smile followed it up. ^_^

I think you'd have a hard time convincing a group of PB'ers to work on a single project like this. Maybe that's just me, though. I know I don't work very well in a group like that. It's easy to lose sight of the whole project when you're only working on a part of it. Code might not fit as well together if it were multiple people. Looking at other people's code gives me headaches

Just my $0.02, though. I'd like to hear other people's ideas.

Actually, like Scintilla, I was looking for an existing project outside of PB ... I don't think I've done a good job at asking my question!

Hi USCode,

you might want to start checking out http://sourceforge.net/search/?words=gr ... earch=soft

or then perhaps this list: http://www.google.com/Top/Computers/Pro ... ace/Grids/

Perhaps one of these efforts fits your bill?

You could try the BabyGrid control written entirely in PellesC:

Been meaning to try and convert it to PB lib for ages but too busy.
